Trim the edges of PDF pages
Wide margins waste space on small screens, scanned pages often have dark borders, and print files carry crop marks you don't need. Trim each edge by an exact amount and download the cropped PDF.
Typical margins to trim
| Document | Suggested trim |
|---|---|
| Word document, A4 | 20 mm on each side |
| US Letter document | 25 mm (1 inch) on each side |
| Scanned page with dark border | 5–10 mm |
| Print file with bleed and crop marks | 10–15 mm |
Reading on phones and e-readers
Cropping the margins of a PDF book or paper makes the text noticeably larger on small screens, because the viewer scales the page to fit the display.
