How to remove black borders of a PDF to print it in an environment-friendly way?
Question
What program is best to use for removing black borders of a PDF to print it in an environment-friendly way?
Solution
Sometimes, we have to deal with some special PDF documents which contain useless margins, for example, the PDF files to be printed are surrounded with black margins, and you may want some tool to help you remove these black margins for saving printing ink. Or you should crop the white margins of PDF pages and rescale them to fit a standard size of paper or screen of handheld devices.
