Can cpdf crop most pages while ignoring some? #77

Closed Shohreh closed 1 year ago

Shohreh commented 1 year ago

Hello,

Before trying to turn it into an EPUB, I need to crop the bottom of all pages, and the top of most pages of a PDF while ignoring the first page of each chapter.

Can cpdf do this?

Thank you.

PS: What's the difference between mediabox, cropbox, bleedbox, trimbox, and artbox? image

Yes, you can use page ranges:

For example cpdf in.pdf 1-6,8-13,15-19 -crop ........

I'm not sure what your EPUB conversion software will do with this cropping information, though.

You can find some info on boxes here:
