krop 0.4.10(Qt Other Utility)
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.

changelog:
krop (0.4.10) 2016-05-29 -- Armin Straub
* When cropping, all PDF page boxes (ArtBox, BleedBox, CropBox, MediaBox,
TrimBox) are now adjusted.
krop (0.4.9) 2015-10-31 -- Armin Straub
* Reading PDF files is less strict now. As a consequence, krop doesn't give
up cropping some files which resulted in an error before.
* Fix a possible crash when starting krop.
krop (0.4.8) 2015-07-04 -- Armin Straub
+ More options are accessible via command line arguments.
* Mouse cursor now changes when over selections and handles.
* Improved visibility of selections.
krop (0.4.7) 2015-02-15 -- Armin Straub
+ Basic options are accessible as command line arguments (run krop with
--help to see available options).
* When pressing ctrl-c in the terminal, krop will shut down (not gracefully,
though; only intended for when there is trouble).
* Avoid hitting Python's recursion limit in the pyPdf library when working
with certain large pdf files (thanks to Victor).
krop (0.4.6) 2014-05-24 -- Armin Straub
+ Added option to specify pages which require individual selections (thanks
to Roger Krebs for the suggestion and for testing).
* 'Trim Margins' automatically creates a region for the full page if no
regions exist.
* Reorganized options across tabs.
+ Added appdata file (thanks to Richard Hughes).
krop (0.4.5) 2014-02-01 -- Armin Straub
* Load and write files with non-ascii characters in their filename.
krop (0.4.4) 2013-08-18 -- Armin Straub
+ If available use PyPDF2 in place of pyPdf.
* Correctly crop PDFs which have orientation other than 'portrait' (thanks
to Gaetano Pepe for sending sample PDFs and testing).
* In case of more than one selection per page, cropping is much faster now
and results in smaller files.
* Delete old selections when opening a new file.
krop (0.4.3) 2013-08-10 -- Armin Straub
* Fix a bug that prevented PDF files to be specified on the command line
(thanks to roctheme for reporting).
* Instead of no icon at all, use the system icon 'edit-cut' as application
icon (thanks to roctheme for the suggestion).
krop (0.4.2) 2013-08-04 -- Armin Straub
+ Use PyKDE if available (though this is not really used yet).
* If default icons are missing, use text instead.
krop (0.4.1) 2013-07-28 -- Armin Straub
* Initial public release.
+ Several small bug fixes.
krop (0.4.0) 2013-06-16 -- Armin Straub
