Crop Pages - Set to white Margins: usage for multiple pages

Post by Peter2 »

I think we had this topic already some time ago ..
-----
I have a PDF, first page is portrait with a lot of white space, other pages are landscape with only a few white space. I start "crop pages", set to white margins, pages 1-18, all other settings on default.

Now it crops the first page correct - to portrait and with cropping a lot of space.
But all other pages are cropped to the same size - and are destroyed, of course.

It seems that it works like:
compute size only once, based on first page, crop everything like first base

But I need:
compute crop area for each page separately, then crop.

How to make it?

Hi, Peter2

Are you running the Latest build of the Editor? We did recently change the handling of the crop tool so that it is independently calculated for each page, as you can see in my screenshot below, the first and third pages have images making them wider than the others, and the 6th page is (or should I say *was*) in landscape but the blank sides of the page have been cropped off as expected.

If you have not already, please update to Version 8, Build 337.0 and you should find that this is working correctly for you.

Hi Daniel

yes, I have 8.337. Find attached my file - before and after cropping.
And here a screencast: https://autode.sk/2yANguz

The (wrong) crop-area is already visible in preview. Do I use wrong settings?

Try Crop Method: Remove all White Space - it works as you want.

Thats a cool video OVG. Are you still using Windows 7, or did you manage to beautify your Windows 10 like that?
