Adding margins to a PDF creates space around content — useful for printing with binding room, adding a border for visual clarity, or making space for handwritten annotations. Set equal margins on all sides or specify different values for top, bottom, left, and right. The content is scaled or repositioned to fit within the new margin boundaries. Use cases: adding a left margin to a document that will be hole-punched for a binder, creating top/bottom margins on a compact document before printing, adding space for reviewer annotations alongside the content, or standardizing margin spacing across a set of documents.
