Questions about PDF cropping? We've got answers.
Can I crop a single page in my PDF?
Yes. After uploading the PDF file you want to crop and signing in for free, the Acrobat Crop PDF tool automatically outlines the first page of your PDF document with a rectangular cropping border. You can alternatively choose another page from your PDF file and resize the crop area by dragging the border handles as desired. Select Crop once you’re ready to save your newly cropped PDF file.
How do I crop multiple pages in a PDF?
Adobe Acrobat online services make resizing pages of different sizes easy for consistency. To auto-crop multiple pages in a PDF document, first designate a selected area on one page. Then select all pages as your desired page range or enter a range of consecutive pages that you want to crop. When you select Crop, Acrobat will apply the same cropping process to all designated pages.
Will the file size change when I crop a PDF?
No. Cropping a PDF doesn’t reduce its file size because the file content is simply hidden but not discarded. By resetting the page size, you can restore the page and its content to its original condition and formatting.
Can I reorganise my PDF after cropping pages?
Adobe Acrobat Pro lets you organise the PDF pages when you sign up for a seven-day free trial. After cropping your PDF, you can do the Acrobat Pro trial for Mac or Windows. It lets you delete, extract, insert, rotate or rearrange PDF pages within your file. Additionally, it allows you to use our PDF editor to edit PDFs, edit scanned PDFs with OCR, merge files, annotate them, reduce PDF file size and insert headers, page numbers, bookmarks or watermarks. Moreover, the PDF converter tools let you convert files to and from PDF, including HTML pages, image formats like PNGs and TIFFs, Microsoft Word documents, Excel spreadsheets and PowerPoint presentations.
Are there any limitations to cropping PDFs online?
Yes, Adobe Acrobat online services allow you to crop up to 1500 pages only. Ensure your file does not exceed 100MB in size while you crop PDF online.
Does cropping a PDF online affect its quality?
Cropping a PDF online does not have any effect on the quality. It merely changes the page's visible area and keeps the images and text in the expected resolution. With Acrobat tools, you can rest assured that you will get high-quality PDF files.
