Check whether content in your PDF maintains safe margins from the page and trim edges.

This tool measures the margin between the trim edge and the nearest content boundary on each side of every page. You set the required safe margin, and the tool reports a pass or fail for every page and every side so you know exactly where problems exist.
During finishing, cutting and binding are not perfectly precise, so content placed too close to the trim edge risks being clipped. A margin check ensures critical text and images stay safely within the printable area after trimming is complete.
Margin (safe zone) keeps important content away from the trim edge inside the page. Bleed extends artwork beyond the trim edge outside the page. Both protect against trimming imperfections but in opposite directions.
This tool measures geometric boundaries based on page boxes, not visual content. It cannot see where text or images actually sit on the page, so it checks the defined content area rather than rendered pixels.
A minimum of 3 mm to 5 mm is common for most print jobs. For documents with binding, the inner margin should be wider. Always follow your printer's specific margin guidelines.
You need to adjust your layout to push content further from the affected edges. This is best done in the original design file before re-exporting the PDF.
No. It verifies that the defined content area has sufficient clearance from the trim edge. Actual pixel-level content detection would require image analysis, which is beyond the scope of this tool.
Verify whether your PDF includes the correct bleed area for professional printing.
Check page dimensions, detect standard sizes like A4 and Letter, and identify mixed page sizes in your PDF.
Add professional crop marks to your PDF for print production.
Run a comprehensive preflight check on your PDF to see if it's ready for professional printing.
