Hello,

I need to hard-trim PDFs, ie. the stuff outside the mediabox should really be gone from the output file.

I tried the following, but they only perform visual trimming, ie. it's displayed as expected but the data's actually still in the file:

Code:

cpdf.exe -crop "0 0 400pt 600pt" input.pdf 1-50 -o output.pdf input.pdf

pdfcpu.exe box add -- "media:[0 0 400 600]" input.pdf output.pdf

mutool.exe trim -b mediabox -o output.pdf input.pdf

Is there a tool, preferably open-source, that supports hard-trimming?

Thank you.
