How can I really (!) crop all pages of a pdf document?

Post by mattad »

Assume I have a pdf document. The content of all pages is framed with a thick (white) border.
I want to shrink/crop this thick border by e.g. 1 inch or 2 centimeter.

As I found out many pdf editors use for this just a trick: they reduce the margins.
So the pages are kept in background.

I don't want this.
I want a real, physical crop (for all pages in pdf doc).

How can I achieve this with PDF XChange editor?

Hi mattad,

You can use the Crop pages feature for that, and then use the 'Remove Cropped Content' option afterwards:
