What is PDF Cropping?

PDF cropping is the process of selecting a rectangular area on a PDF page and extracting it into a new document. Unlike editing the PDF directly, cropping preserves the original content quality within the selected region.

Common uses for PDF cropping include:

• Extracting tables or charts from reports for presentations
• Isolating signatures or stamps from signed documents
• Removing margins or whitespace from scanned documents
• Cutting out specific sections for reference or sharing

Understanding PDF Coordinates

PDF documents use points as their unit of measurement, where 1 inch equals 72 points.

Common Page Sizes in Points

Page Size	Width (points)	Height (points)
US Letter	612	792
A4	595	842
Legal	612	1008
A3	842	1191

Coordinate System

• X is the horizontal distance from the left edge of the page
• Y is the vertical distance from the top edge of the page
• Width and Height define the size of the crop area

For example, to crop the top-right quarter of a US Letter page, you would use:

• X: 306, Y: 0, Width: 306, Height: 396

Tips for Best Results

• Know your page size — Check the page dimensions before setting crop coordinates
• Start with larger areas — You can always crop again with smaller dimensions
• Use round numbers — Points align with physical measurements (72 points = 1 inch, 36 points = 0.5 inch)
• Preview first — If unsure about coordinates, try cropping a test area first
