What are good margins to use?

Tight (24 pt all around) removes modest white borders. Slides (36 top/bottom, 12 sides) suits presentations. Custom margins are in PDF points — 72 pt equals one inch.

Does cropping apply to the whole document?

Yes, the same margins are applied to every page, which keeps documents uniform after trimming.

Does cropping reduce quality?

No. Cropping only changes the visible page area — text and images keep full resolution.

No. Cropping happens entirely in your browser.
