Krop is a simple graphical tool to crop the pages of PDF files. It is written in Python and relies on PyQT, python-poppler-qt4 and pyPDF for its functionality. A unique feature of krop is its ability to automatically split pages into subpages to fit the limited screen size of devices such as eReaders. This is particularly useful, if your eReader does not support convenient scrolling.
The installation can be done using the terminal or using the software center.
💻 Terminal: sudo snap install krop
🛍 Software center: search for krop in the Software center.
