PDF Form Filler - How to crop PDF file

For Zapier, Integromat and others plugins insert custom profiles into profiles field. For API calls please set value as string in profiles parameter as string.

PDF form filler endpoint (pdf/edit/add endpoint) can crop PDF files. PDF Filler is usually used to add text and images on top of existing PDF files but it can also adjust cropbox for output PDF.

{ "Pages[0].SetCropBox()": ["28", "28", "539", "284"] }

Applies To:

  • /pdf/edit/add

The crop box is defined by a rectangle (x, y, width, height) in PDF Points (1 Point = 1/72 in.). Rectangle calculations:

A4 page size in Points: 595 x 842

Crop rectangle:
x = 0.39 * 72 = 28
y = 0.39 * 72 = 28
width = 595 - 0.39 * 72 - x = 539
height = 842 - 7.36 * 72 - y = 284
