how can I crop a .pdf document?

[Bill Sprague]

If you have windows, there is an "Accessory" called the "Snipping Tool".  It allows you to make a cutout of anything on your screen and save it as a .jpg.  I don't know how good the resolution is, but with a .pdf, it may not matter.

Does this mean I have to copy the document out of Adobe Reader onto a Word page and then use the “snipping tool”? I’ve never seen this tool on the Windows Word page but I’ll keep looking.

Thanks,

Just "cut out" a part? Assuming you've imported the PDF document in particular, just click the Crop Tool, add a cropping border, adjust it as necessary and click the commit checkmark (or press Enter).

Thanks for the information, but on the Adobe Reader screen there is no Crop Tool, so I can’t do what’s suggested. Any other ideas?

The suggestion about the "Crop Tool" is because you are in a forum about Photoshop Elements.  So, it was assumed you were using Photoshop Elements with the crop tool on a .pdf

The Snipping Tool is part of your Windows operating system.  It will capture a .jpg from anything you can get to display on your screen.  That is why I suggested it.

The snipping tool is not part of Photoshop Elements or Adobe Reader.

This training video may help:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PUGbyXb8XQ  Searching YouTube for "Snipping Tool" will get you more demo videos on how to use it.

Good luck.

I don't know which version of Windows that you are using, but in Windows 7 you can create a link to the tool on the taskbar.

In Windows, go to All programs>Accessories. Scroll down to Snipping tool. Right click and then click on pin to taskbar.
