Make cropping permanent?
#1413
|
Hello, apologies if this is covered somewhere, but I could not find anything about this myself. Upon opening the program, it states that cropping doesn't remove any content from the PDF file, only hiding it. If I do want to crop the PDF, and make it so those areas cropped out are permanently removed from the file (in order that no one could recover sensitive info that was cropped out), how would I go about this? Does saving the file after cropping do this? Thank you for any help! |

No, normal save or export does not remove the cropped parts. "Export to rasterized PDF" however will remove cropped parts. Also, keep in mind that metadata will still be merged from the source documents, and may contain sensitive data. |
