PDF cropping questions

Can I crop a PDF without uploading it?

Yes. This tool reads the selected PDF in your browser. The file is not sent to Firm Beacon or saved by the tool. Loading this page still makes normal website and analytics requests.

What are PDF points?

PDF points are a page measurement. There are 72 points in one inch. Enter the margin to hide on each side of every page.

Does cropping permanently remove the hidden content?

No. This tool changes the page crop box. Content outside the visible area may remain in the PDF, so do not use it for redaction. Keep the original and review the result.

Does cropping work on every page?

Yes. The same margins are applied to every page. The margins must fit inside every page, including pages with different dimensions.
