How does the Add Margins to PDF work?
Add white margin space around every page — the inverse of Crop PDF. The original content stays at its original size; the page grows around it. Common uses: a binding edge (typically 1-1.5 in / 72-108 pt on the left/inner side), annotation room for class notes or revisions, or a picture-frame look for prints. Runs in your browser.
