Tips for Better Cropping Results

Taking a few precautions before saving a cropped PDF can help prevent important content from being removed accidentally.

2. Leave enough margins for printing. Avoid removing too much space if the document will later be printed.
3. Crop pages consistently. When working with multiple pages, try to maintain a consistent layout where appropriate.
4. Keep the original PDF. Save a backup copy of the original document before cropping.
5. Review the final document. Open the cropped PDF and check each relevant page before sharing or printing it.
