FAQ

Does cropping a PDF to A4 scale the original content?

No. This tool keeps content at its original size and applies a centered A4 page window.

What happens when a PDF page is smaller than A4?

The page canvas is changed to A4 and the existing content remains centered within the new page.

Can landscape pages be cropped to landscape A4?

Yes. Landscape source pages use landscape A4 dimensions automatically.

Will crop marks outside A4 remain visible?

No. Content outside the new A4 crop boundary is hidden by the page boxes.

Can this tool process password-protected PDFs?

Encrypted PDFs may fail to load. Remove protection with the document owner’s permission first.
