What is cropped

The crop box moves inward by that margin. Text and pictures outside the box are still in the file, but a normal viewer hides them. This is not a redaction. If you need words gone, this page is the wrong tool.

The margin is converted at 72 points per inch. A margin that would leave a page under half an inch on a side is rejected. Mixed page sizes all lose the same margin, so a small page can fail while a large one would have fit.

Questions

Can I crop one side only?

No. The four edges share one number.

Does this shrink the pictures?

No. It hides a border. The rest of the page stays the same scale.

Can I undo the crop later?

A later editor can open the crop box again, because the hidden strip is still stored. Keep the original if you may want it back.
