Frequently asked questions
Does cropping a PDF reduce its overall file size?
Trimming margins from a PDF may not significantly affect its overall file size, but compressing the resulting PDF can help reduce its size.
Can I undo or reverse the cropping process?
Unfortunately, our non-destructive cropping feature does not offer an 'undo' option. However, you can try processing your document again with slightly different margin settings to achieve the desired result.
How do you handle different document orientations (portrait/landscape)?
Our tool automatically adjusts to the document's orientation, ensuring that margins are trimmed correctly regardless of whether it's portrait or landscape mode.
Is there a limit on file size or number of PDFs that can be processed?
We don't have strict file size limits, but processing extremely large files may slow down the cropping process. As for multiple PDFs, you're welcome to upload and crop multiple documents in one go.
Can I use this tool to trim margins from scanned images or photographs?
While our tool excels at trimming margins from scanned documents and exported slides, it may not be ideal for editing scanned images or photographs. These formats often require specialized software for optimal results.
Are the cropped PDF files editable after processing?
Our non-destructive cropping feature allows you to preserve the original content without sacrificing editability. You can now easily add text, shapes, or other elements to your document using any compatible viewer or editing software.
