NAME

       krop - tool to crop PDF files

SYNOPSIS

       krop [options] [file]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the krop command.

       krop  is  a  simple graphical tool to crop the pages of PDF files. It is written in Python
       and relies on PyQT, python-poppler-qt5 and PyPDF2 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.
