Trim the white margins off every page.
Cropping is mostly about reading. Academic papers and scanned books carry enormous margins that were meant for a printed page, and on a tablet or e-reader they waste half the screen. Trim them and the text gets noticeably bigger.
Cropping sets the visible area rather than deleting content, which is worth knowing: the trimmed material still exists in the file and a determined reader could restore it. For removing something sensitive, use Redact PDF instead.
No. It sets the visible area, and the hidden content stays in the file. If you need something genuinely gone, use Redact PDF, which flattens pages to images.
Start around ten millimetres per side for a typical academic paper and increase if the margins are still large. Doxly refuses values that would erase the page.
Not yet. The same crop applies to every page, which works when margins are consistent. For a mixed document, split it, crop each part, then merge.
