Hello,
I have a bunch of scanned pdf documents and I would like to crop the margins on each page. I would like to do this in an automated way, as the number of pages to process is in the hundreds.
Unfortunately, the color of the margins is not even, because the scanner was larger than the paper documents and the lid did not cover them evenly. As a result, the color of the margins on a single page can vary across the whole grayscale between full white and full black. So far, I have tried ImageConverter, which picks out page margins by color filtering, but it has been quite ineffective because the color varies so much.
Off the top of my head, the solution for my problem would be a tool that picked out the text areas and cropped the page accordingly, but I couldn't google up anything like that. It would be a big plus if it were free, but I guess I can live with paying up to the 150-200$ price range, provided the software maker looked legit, the software were really worth it, and a demo version were available.
Thank you in advance for your help
