.SH DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the
.B krop
command.
.PP
\fBkrop\fP is a simple graphical tool to crop the pages of PDF files. It is written
in Python and relies on PyQT, python-poppler-qt5 and PyPDF2 for its functionality.
A unique feature of krop is its ability to automatically split pages into subpages
to fit the limited screen size of devices such as eReaders. This is particularly
useful, if your eReader does not support convenient scrolling.
