When you scan a document with your iPhone camera, the resulting PDF often includes thick white borders added by the scanner app. If you need to share a clean, cropped version immediately — before reaching a desktop — doing it directly on your iPhone is the fastest option.
iPhones also receive PDFs via email, Messages, or AirDrop that may have been sent with unwanted margins or scanner artifacts. Cropping on the spot before forwarding saves a round trip to a computer.
