Crop Pages on PDF files

Post by didi1 »

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).
