PDFs with large white margins waste space on screen and when printed. Whether you are reading scanned books, academic papers, or presentation slides, cropping the margins makes the content fill the page properly.
Scanned books and PDFs from Word or PowerPoint often have wide, unnecessary margins. Cropping them makes text larger on-screen without zooming, saves paper when printing, and creates cleaner layouts for e-readers and tablets.
