How to Crop a PDF on Windows [Free and Quick]

Overview

PDF is an electronic document format that is popular in daily office and study. It works on any device and system, and the format doesn’t change from device to device. Accurate colors and formats in PDF files are guaranteed on any printer. PDF will faithfully reproduce every character, color, and image of the original. That is the reason why more and more e-books, product descriptions, company announcements, web materials, and e-mails begin to use PDF format files.

In this article, I’ll show you how to crop a PDF for free with an effective and professional PDF processor – WorkinTool PDF Converter. Step-by-step tutorials are provided here.
