2020-12-24 15:29:05 sasha1024 summary The "pdfcrop" utility crops an extra space on the top The "pdfcrop" utility crops an extra space at the top
2020-12-24 15:30:56 sasha1024 description I have a PDF-file that, when being cropped by "pdfcrop", is always cropped at the top by 28 pts more than expected. For example pdfcrop --margins "-734 -14 -43 -42" that.pdf out1.pdf acts as if I specified "-734 -42 -43 -42". Trivial pdfcrop --margins "0 0 0 0" that.pdf out2.pdf doesn't leave the PDF intact but removes the 28pt stripe from the top. Interesting that cutting "0 0 0 0" again, i.e. pdfcrop --margins "0 0 0 0" out2.pdf out3.pdf doesn't seem to change anything. I'm not an expect, but I see nothing special in the original PDF file (that.pdf).
