A visual example
From a handout grid to individual pages
Example: one source page contains six occupied slide cells.
- 123456
One handout page
Choose a grid that follows the actual cell boundaries on your page.
- 123456
Six output pages
Each retained cell becomes its own PDF page in the chosen reading order.
Check the cut lines and reading order; uncheck empty cells explicitly.
Illustrative example. Six retained cells are shown. The result is a PDF, not recovered PowerPoint slides. Cropping may retain hidden neighboring content; it is not secure redaction. Links and interactive annotations are not transferred.
How to use it
- Choose a PDF or the synthetic ten-page example.
- Set the grid, source-page order, margins, gaps and rotation. Preview cut lines on each selected source page.
- Explicitly uncheck any empty cells and choose optional note space to the right or below.
- Create the PDF, inspect its rendered first page and download the verified export.
Ten completely occupied six-slide pages produce 60 correctly ordered PDF slides with the default settings. Explicit exclusions, column-first reading and note areas can be tested separately.
Details & limits
One PDF up to 25 MiB and 100 source pages; 1–6 rows and columns, at most 600 grid cells; 64 MiB export and 60-second operations. No passwords, interactive forms, signatures or nonstandard UserUnit scales. Decoded streams: 16 MiB each, 64 MiB total.

Does cropping permanently remove neighboring content?
No. Vector clipping preserves available graphics and selectable text, but hidden neighboring content may remain in PDF objects. It is not secure redaction or PowerPoint recovery. Interactive annotations, links and bookmarks are not transferred.
