Hi everyone,

I have a few pdfs which have a frame around a small portion of text, and therefore, I can't remove the white margins because the crop is being hindered by this frame.

(the files are similar to these ones:
http://www.poemhunter.com/eBooks/)

So, with Adobe Acrobat Pro, I used the crop tool to remove this frame first, but it turns out that what is left outside the crop box is not REALLY removed. I think it's just the value of the margin which is changed.

THerefore, the frame is left there and I still can see it in the preview of the cropping window.

So my question is: How do you get the cropping to ACTUALLY crop, that is, to remove the unwanted area completely?

thanks!

PS: If you know of any other tool which can do that, and which keeps the bookmarks in the process, that's great too!
