My thesis is due Friday and these scanned PDF pages have huge margins I need to crop, but I can’t install anything on my work laptop. How do people crop pages in a rush? ---

I had this happen with a scanned client guide and used a browser-based PDF crop tool, selecting the content area and applying it to all pages before downloading the result. Since it’s a thesis, check your school’s privacy rules first, and keep the original file in case the crop cuts off anything important. ---

If you have Word, you can insert the PDF pages as images then crop them in Word before exporting back to PDF, no install needed. What Office apps do you already have on that laptop?
