Cropping Exported .pdf Images

GunnShow doesn’t do a good job of cropping the output .pdf file to the size of the model in your drawing. Depending on the .pdf viewer you use, it may zoom way out to try to fit the entire image, leaving the model itself a small unreadable blob in the corner.

$ pdfcrop —margins 20 drawing.pdf drawing.pdf

pdfcrop is a freeware tool that comes standard with L _A T _E X, so it’s probably already on your Linux system or it can be easily installed.
