How to Crop a PDF with WorkinTool PDF Converter
WorkinTool PDF Converter is a versatile PDF editing and converting software for Windows. With it, you can easily crop and resize PDF pages. Furthermore, it is more than a PDF editor. You can also use it to convert PDF to Word, Excel, PPT, etc., compress PDF size, protect PDF, add watermark to PDF, etc. To my surprise, all PDF solutions are entirely free to use without limits on file size, use times, etc. Most importantly, it is safe to use.
It is unnecessary to log into a personal account to install and use it. All the uploaded and converted files will be directly deleted after you save them. The desktop version is now only available to Windows users. You can download it for free from the WorkinTool official website. By the way, it also provides an online PDF editor that can help you crop PDF files online. But in comparison, the desktop version is more powerful to cope with PDF issues.
