Cropping changes the visible boundary; it is not secure content removal. Never use it to hide sensitive material. Review the privacy policy.

Crop troubleshooting

Prevent removed content and inconsistent boundaries

Text is cut off

Reduce the corresponding crop margin and return to the original.

Pages crop differently

The white border remains when printing

The printer may add its own non-printable margin.

Direct answers

Questions about Crop PDF

Does cropping permanently delete everything outside the crop box?

Cropping changes the visible page area, but it should not be treated as secure removal of hidden content. Use Redact PDF for sensitive information.

Why can equal crop margins look different?

Pages can have different dimensions, rotations and box definitions. Inspect each page rather than assuming one visual result fits all.
