Overview
Crop Pages removes specified amounts from each edge of selected pages by setting the PDF crop box (CropBox). The underlying content is not deleted — it is simply hidden outside the visible crop boundary. This is useful for trimming unwanted white space, removing headers or footers, or adjusting the visible area of scanned pages.
How to use
- Open a PDF document in Acrobat.
- Go to Plug-Ins > Pages > Crop Pages.
- Select the page range to crop.
- Choose the measurement unit.
- Enter the crop amounts for each edge (top, bottom, left, right).
- Click OK to apply the crop.
Options
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Page range | The pages to crop. Choose All pages or specify a From / To range. |
| Units | Choose between Points, Inches, or Centimeters. All crop values use the selected unit. |
| Top | The amount to crop from the top edge of each page. |
| Bottom | The amount to crop from the bottom edge of each page. |
| Left | The amount to crop from the left edge of each page. |
| Right | The amount to crop from the right edge of each page. |
Tip
Cropping is non-destructive. The hidden content remains in the PDF and can be restored by setting the crop values back to zero or by using Acrobat’s built-in page cropping tool to reset the CropBox.
Note
If the crop amounts exceed the page dimensions, the operation will be rejected to prevent creating a zero-size page.
