The Challenge: Side Cropping in Adobe Acrobat Pro
Adobe Acrobat Pro is a powerful tool for working with PDF files, but it has certain limitations. One such limitation is the inability to batch crop multiple pages with a uniform side limit in a single operation. When trying to crop sides of a PDF, users might encounter a message similar to the following:
"Trying batch crops sides of PDF (section Organize Pages), side limit 4.511 inches? "
This limitation can be inconvenient if you have a multi-page document and want to crop all pages evenly. Fortunately, there is a workaround for this problem.

There are several tools available online, both free and paid, that can accomplish this task. For this guide, we will demonstrate the process using a popular, free tool called Sejda PDF Cropper.
