Cropping pages of a PDF document
You can crop a page in a PDF document to remove parts you don’t need. You can crop just the page you are viewing or all pages in the document.
To crop the current page:
- If you want to choose a custom size, choose Tools > Select Tool, and select the portion of the page you want to keep, or choose Tools > Select Content to set the selection to the content of the current page.
- Choose Tools > Crop Page. Without a selection, the content of the page will be automatically determined.
To crop all pages:
- If you want to choose a custom size, choose Tools > Select Tool, and select the portion of the page you want to keep, or choose Tools > Select Content to extend the selection to contain the content of the current page.
- Choose Tools > Crop. Without selection, the content of the pages will be automatically determined.
To crop all pages to their individual content:
- Hold down the Shift key, and choose Tools > Auto Crop. This can be useful for unevenly scanned articles.
To crop all pages automatically to a common size:
- Hold down the Control key, and choose Tools > Auto Crop. This can be useful for unevenly scanned articles that still have pages of approximately the same size.
Cropping a document does not destroy any of its contents. You can always view the uncropped document by choosing PDF > PDF Display > Media Box. To view the cropped document, choose PDF > PDF Display > Crop Box.
