I sell stuff online and the shipping label PDFs I download come as full letter-size pages with the actual label tiny in one corner. I want to trim off the extra white space so it fits my 4x6 thermal printer, and I can’t figure out how to do that on my Windows laptop.

Honestly, that extra white space is annoying. If you have Word, I would try opening the PDF in Word, then set a custom 4x6 page under Layout, Size, with zero margins. That usually crops the letter page down to the label, and you can print at 100% or let your printer scale to fit. If it does not land in the top left, just move the label before printing.

Where are you buying the labels? eBay, PayPal and Pirate Ship all have a 4x6 download option buried in the settings, which skips cropping entirely.

If you’re stuck with the PDF:

1. Open it in PDF24 Creator, free for Windows.
2. Use the Crop tool, drag a box around the label, save.
3. Print at 100 percent scale onto the 4x6 paper.
