How to Crop a PDF Image

When a PDF file is opened on your Mac OS X, you can only read the file or some highlight it and there is no native way of editing the PDF file. Similarly, there is no way of creating the PDF file from different images or documents in Windows or Mac OS X. In order to do this task, you will need a third party PDF creator and editor. While editing the PDF file, you may need to crop PDF image, and you can't do that unless you have a professional level PDF editor.
