  2. Crop by using the command line:
    • pdfcrop command (provided by texlive-extra-utils), using the following arguments: pdfcrop --margins '-30 -30 -250 -150' --clip input.pdf output.pdf (-left -top -right -bottom format).
    • PDFCrop
    • convert -crop command (provided by imagemagick)
    • Ghostscript
  3. Crop by writing your own script:
