Permanent Crop of Data

Post by Manthe »

When croping a page, I wish to permanently remove the information outside the crop window from the saved PDF file. Is this possible?

I notice that after openning a cropped PDF file, I can remove the crop and return to the original information ... and this isn't just with PDF X-Change but other programs too.

Currently using 38.1, June 28, 2008.

To be honest, it isn't so trivial in common case.
For example, if you will crop just a part of complex shade object (gradient fill), it will be not so easy or impossible to left just a part of this object.

Another situation: you had crop a part of text character's glyph.
