Practical tips
Trim scanner borders
Draw the crop area inside dark scanner edges to remove them from every page at once.
Cropping hides, it doesn't delete
Content outside the crop area is hidden rather than permanently removed. Use Redact for information that must be erased.
Apply to selected pages
Crop the whole document or only specific pages when some pages have a different layout.
