Crop visible content and control the finished page
Crop & Resize PDF lets you preview a PDF page, set crop margins, select a PDF page box and generate a new file. The amber frame is the crop area; the green guide shows the selected output page size around the crop.
Recommended workflow
1. Choose the page area
Use CropBox for normal work, or choose ArtBox, TrimBox or BleedBox when the PDF supplies those production boxes.

Units and output dimensions
The mm, cm and inch selector changes crop-margin entry values only. Output Width and Height remain in millimetres so print dimensions stay unambiguous.
