Cropping all pages of a pdf
---------------------------

To crop all pages of a PDF from e.g. A4 to A5, keeping only the top of
the page::

   pdfjam \
      --papersize 210mm,148mm --trim "0mm 0mm 0mm 149mm" \
      --scale 1 \
      -o <output_file.pdf> <input_file.pdf>

where the ``--trim`` option is not documented in pdfjam, but it's passed
to ``\includegraphics`` and documented there.
