Remove margins from a PDF
Short answer
To strip the whitespace border around PDF pages, trim an even margin off every side below. It runs in your browser and nothing is uploaded.
Removing wide margins makes a PDF read better on phones and e-readers, where wasted whitespace shrinks the actual content. Trimming the page box zooms the content to fill the screen.
It's also useful before printing, to reduce empty borders and use more of the paper.
