Prepare the input
Inspect page dimensions and choose a rectangle that retains all required content. Keep the original because a crop can hide material the recipient still needs.
These examples use local sample filenames. Substitute your own paths and check jetformat pdf crop --help against the installed version before running the task. Put paths containing spaces inside quotes.
Run the command
jetformat pdf crop book.pdf --llx 0 --lly 0 --urx 400 --ury 500 -o crop.pdfThe coordinates define the MediaBox for every page. Cropping changes the viewable page area and must not be treated as secure deletion of off-page content.
Review before the next step
Review every affected page boundary. Cropping is not a secure deletion technique and should not be used to remove confidential content from a distributed file.
Check the new page dimensions with pdf info and render a page to verify important content is not clipped.
Keep the workflow repeatable
This operation uses page-based credits. Review the billing guide before processing a large document.
Keep the input revision with the result so a later reviewer can reproduce the decision. For a write operation, choose a new output path first; use overwrite flags only when replacing a previously reviewed result is intentional.
