[Tex/LaTex] Excel chart -> PDF -> LaTeX but need to remove white space

cropmarginspdf

I converted an Excel chart to a PDF file by Save As.. PDF in Excel. It looks good, but there is a lot of whitespace/margin on top and bottom which I need to get rid of. The only way to do so seems to be by using Acrobat professional which I don't have. Is there a free way to do this? I use Windows by the way.

You can use the commandline tool pdfcrop. For this you need perl.

Specify a binding offset to geometry

\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{a4paper,
  margin=15mm,
  bindingoffset=25mm,
  heightrounded,
}

If you want wider margins, adjust the binding offset. However, a binding offset of 25mm (as requested) is justified only for ring binding or similar method. Universities have very bizarre requirements.

You can remove white margins from a pdf file with pdfcrop, in the simplest version

pdfcrop file.pdf

which generates a maximally cropped output file named file-crop.pdf. You can also specify new own margins in points (default is zero), and name your output file as you want, as in

pdfcrop --margins 10 input.pdf output.pdf
