Cropping PDF pages using JavaScript

PDF pages can be cropped using the cropPages function. Simply pass in an array of pages to crop and the amount to be cropped from each side. One thing to note is that sides are based on the document rotation instead of the UI or total rotation.

4    const rotation = instance.Core.PageRotation;

17      docViewer.rotateCounterClockwise(page1);
18      doc.getPageInfo(page1); // {width: 692, height: 612}, width and height get swapped

20      // rotate the first page back so that it appears upright in the viewer
21      await doc.cropPages([page1], cropTop, cropBottom, cropLeft, cropRight);
22      doc.getPageInfo(page1); // {width: 692, height: 512}
23      // Even though the page appears upright, the document is rotated 90 degree clockwise
24      // So the left side of the document is cropped
