#2 File size unchanged - what happens to cropped content?
Hello,
I am using briss to crop PDF musical scores for my Ipad. It works great! However, the file size does not change, i.e. even cropping half the page away does not change the file size. Is the cropped content actually discarded or does it stay hidden in the file? I am asking because of privacy issues - imagine if you have a scanned pdf with some remarks written on the margin that you want to cut away before publishing - in this case I want to make sure the cropped part can not be recovered ....
Thanks for making briss available - it is a really helpful app!
Well, I just became aware that this is a duplicate of Tracker ID 3302381, so I am closing this ticket.
Anyway, just for the folks who stumble upon this issue let me add the warning, that briss does not actually cut or remove stuff from PDFs. It just changes the "view" i.e. the way the document is presented in a reader application. So don't use briss to strip confidential information etc. as will remain in the file.
