A-PDF Page Crop is a simple, high-speed desktop utility program that empowers users to precisely crop or eliminate unwanted white margins from PDF pages. Beyond simple margin removal, it can reformat standard-sized PDFs (like A4, B4, or Letter) to enhance their readability on smaller electronic devices such as Sony Reader, iRex Iliad, and Kindle. The software provides a visual crop marks editor, known as the Crop Box Editor, which allows for convenient and precise definition of cropping areas. This utility is particularly beneficial for professionals, such as lawyers who frequently print downloaded articles, or individuals who need to print PDF documents designed for one paper size (e.g., Letter) onto another (e.g., A4) without excessive white space. For instance, it can significantly reduce the large white margins that often appear when printing smaller PDF content on standard paper sizes, thereby saving paper and improving document presentation. The program is designed for ease of use, allowing users to define different crop rules for different pages, and can process hundreds of pages in seconds. It operates as a standalone application, eliminating the need for expensive third-party software like Adobe Acrobat Pro.
