00:09Here you can see that I got a page with tututube written on it.
00:13And let's say I want to crop it just to the area where tututube is written out.
00:17In order to do that I can go to edit PDF and over here you can see an option to
00:22crop pages.
00:23So I'm going to click on that and it will allow me to draw a box on top of it.
00:27So I can click on this you can see that this tool is active.
00:30I can just click and drag and there you go there's a box.
00:35So in order to for the crop to work this dragging is not enough.
00:39After you drag it and you see the box you have to press the enter key on your keyboard.
00:43And there you go you see the guidelines right there.
00:45So you can choose the units and points, bikers, inches.
00:50So I'm going to stick to inches right here.
00:51And you can apply to crop box, trim box and so forth.
00:54So I'm just going to apply this to crop box.
00:57And over here you can see that if you want to further adjust it,
01:00you can work with the top button left and right and just right here.
01:03So you can increase this or decrease this like this.
01:07And you can see that the crop range actually changes right here.
01:10So you can also go over here on the right side and you can see the reference point over here.
01:15So you can change the bottom point right here and there you go.
01:18So this is much more better left part.
01:21You can increase decrease this up just like this.
01:24And you can increase this and decrease this just like this.
01:28You can also constrain the proportions right here.
01:30So if you were to increase and decrease it like this,
01:33you can see that the whole page is cropped out just like that.
01:36Let me just remove that out.
01:39And now there's a problem.
01:41It actually reset everything.
01:43So I can reset to zero and press cancel.
01:46I can press enter again.
01:48It'll go back just like this.
01:50So you can see that now over here,
01:52you can also remove the white margins if you want to.
01:55So you can remove it and it actually crops a lot of areas just like that.
01:59And there you go.
02:01So you can also have fixed sizes like letter, tabloid or anything else.
02:06And then it'll crop it accordingly.
02:08So if I were to go over here into letter,
02:09you can see that the cropping happens accordingly.
02:12But I'm going to set it to none because I want to work freely just like this.
02:16So once I'm OK with everything, I'm just going to press OK.
02:19And there you go.
02:20That's the cropped out page just like this.
02:22So this is the cropped out document right here.
02:25So now what else I can do is I can actually go over here into
02:30crop pages again.
02:31So I can press this press enter.
02:33Let me just close the editing pane.
02:35Let me go back over here into the cropping again.
02:38Let me just drag everything out and you can see that I'm drawing outside.
02:42Let me press enter and you can see that it just marks out the entire page.
02:47So the entire page is still there.
02:49And what you can do is you can get everything back even if you have cropped it.
02:53So I can go over here and set everything to zero.
02:56Press OK and you get the entire page back.
02:58Just like this.
02:59So you can crop it.
03:00Crop things just like this.
03:02Click it.
03:03Press enter.
03:05And I can just crop this out.
03:07And if I want to get everything out just like this.
03:10Drag it out.
03:10Press enter.
03:11Set everything to zero.
03:13And there you go.
03:14You get the page back.
