    The GUI idea is great - it's extremally easy to use! But it doesn't work for me as a tool to prepare pdf to print without unnecessary margins. I tested it in Evince and Okular in Ubuntu (I don't have Acrobat Reader) and when viewing it looks like I want, but it prints as original document. I think it's because of way of cropping - only adding new "view" using original pages. I managed to go around with this by running pdfcrop on converted document, but I think it could be useful to add other convertion modes. For example your GUI can run the convert program with proper arguments if available in system.

    Very good and intuitive to use software. I use it quite a lot and haven't experienced any major problems. One suggestion though. A command line option to switch off the distinction between odd and even pages would be great. I can see how it could be usefull in some cases, if you have an article, or a scanned book, however, it normally does not make a difference. Otherwise, as I said, brilliant work!

    briss is simple, fast and efficient. For my test cases the cropping worked exactly as planned. Still I have a wish for a future version: To include the ability to edit pdf metadata.

    Very useful tool - I missed the feature to split page in Acrobat for years! Would the authors mind to add a feature "copy rectangles to all pages" - or at least leave the copied rectangles in the clipboard after they have been pasted to one page? That would make it even easier to split double-pages.
