Crop PDF for government offices
Updated July 2026
Arthize lets public-sector teams crop a PDF in a private workspace — free, with no watermark. Cropping a PDF trims the margins or unwanted edges of pages, so scans and oversized layouts fit cleanly on screen and in print.
Why government offices crop a PDF
A records officer redacts personal identifiers from a document before a public-records release, converts it to PDF/A for the archive, and merges the case file into a single record.
Built for case files. Whether it's case files, public records, forms, Arthize's crop pdf keeps the work inside your private workspace. Public records contain personal data that must be redacted before release, and files must be handled on trusted infrastructure.
What matters when you crop a PDF
Cropping changes the visible page box without deleting page content permanently.
It is useful for tightening scans with wide margins.
You can apply the same crop across every page.
