A PDF margin tool lets you add or increase the blank space (padding) around the content of a document. This is particularly useful for controlling the document's final appearance, especially when it comes to printing and binding. By adding margins, you're essentially expanding the page's canvas, which moves the existing content inwards, away from the edges. This ensures that no important text, images, or graphics are cut off during the physical printing process or obscured by binders and hole punches.

You can set custom margins in millimeters (mm) for the top, bottom, left, and right of every page, giving you complete control over your document's layout.
