Frequently asked questions
Will cropping affect the text or graphics on the page?+
Only if you crop too aggressively into the content area. Stay within the margin boundaries and the text and graphics will remain intact.
Is this suitable for projectors?+
Yes — the same crop technique works for 4:3 projectors. Adjust crop ratios to match your projector's aspect ratio.
Can I apply this to a single page rather than the whole document?+
Yes — enter the specific page number in the range field to apply the crop to only that page.
