Tools like pdfcrop
(from texlive
) are great but they seem to be too focused on removing margins/white space. I'm trying to crop a set of letter pages (8.5×11 inches) to a size of 6×9 inches. I want this measurement to start from the top left of the page; thus the 6×9 I want is the top left 6×9 segment of the original paper, not a centered 6×9 or a 6×9 based on any margins. How can I do this via the command line? I'm on Fedora 23, so something like pdftk
is unavailable.
Command line: crop PDF to paper size (Fedora)

Best Answer
You can do this with Ghostscript.
The cropbox must be calculated with the resolution of your PDF, reference is the bottom left corner. See also this QA.
