please add document margin removal option

Post by sthalik »

Document margin removal is very useful for dual page fit page view. Some documents have absurd margins accounting for 1/3 of the whole page.

Hi sthalik,

Thanks for the post - this can be done using either the Crop Pages tool, or the resize pages tool. Both can be found under the Document Menu.

HTH!

Thank you.

Hey,

Neither of these is unfortunately applicable. The crop pages tool requires selecting "trim to white margins" for all pages in the document separately. The other tool requires manual specification of values.

The Unix viewer Okular trimmed margins from all pages as a preference for all documents. Unfortunately I can't replace this in any sensible PDF viewer for Windows.

As an example, try this document very long url for a logic paper.

Trimming the first page trims too much from the following ones. I think this is the wrong approach. The right one would be to adjust zoom as an option as the pages display to maximize text size for facing non-continuous.
