Hi folks

I am looking on a tool (for Windows)
which automatically determines the borders of a scanned music score, cropes/removes the white borders
and puts well defined borders on each page instead.
Preferable Working on a complete PDF score.

Scantailer can do so on individual graphical pages (jpg, tiff, gif, bmp, png)
https://github.com/scantailor/scantailo ... User-Guide
but its cumbersome to get it work, has too much options and does NOT work on PDFs.

Any help would be very appreciated.

PDFill FREE PDF Tools are great tools to perform many types of operations on pdf files, including crop of pages. There is no automatic detection of borders, though.

Read Step 1 in https://imslp.org/wiki/IMSLP:Image_Conversion to convert a pdf to a set of images. But it won't do the cropping job!

If your scans are well-lined up relative to eachother, you can also consider BRISS, which has an interface which lets you set the margins, separately for odd and even pages (among others).
