Alternatively, it looks like k2pdfopt can do it (-cbox, -grid): Is it correct?
I need a Windows32 application, ideally, a single EXE instead of eg. Java. Hence my not looking at Briss.
Thank you. |
Yes, I think k2pdfopt checks off all of your boxes. Select your source file, then check off the crop areas check box and click "select" to choose your crop region to remove the margins. For conversion mode, select "fitpage", and then uncheck the "Native PDF output" if you want the output to be PNG bitmaps assembled into the PDF (rather than the original PDF content). See attached screen shot. You might want to watch the video(s) from the
help pages.
