About:
Briss is a cross-platform Java application designed for precise cropping of PDF files. It provides a simple graphical interface where users can visually select and define rectangular areas to keep, removing unwanted margins or content. This tool is particularly useful for preparing documents for printing or sharing by eliminating unnecessary white space or sensitive information.

Key Features:

Visual selection of crop areas directly on PDF pages
Support for multi-page documents
Real-time preview of the cropped output
Cross-platform compatibility via Java

Use Cases:

Removing unwanted margins from scanned documents
Cropping lecture slides or presentation materials
Preparing PDFs for mobile reading by eliminating white space

Alternatives:

pdfcrop – Command-line tool that automatically crops to content bounds, lacks visual interface
Adobe Acrobat – Full-featured PDF editor with cropping but requires paid subscription
