Getting Started with pdfcrops.app: A Beginner's Guide

Welcome to pdfcrops.app! We're excited to help you streamline your invoice processing workflow. This guide will walk you through the essential steps to get started, from configuring your first template to downloading your perfectly cropped files.

Step 1: Access the Admin Panel

The heart of pdfcrops.app is the Admin Panel. This is where you teach our system how to handle your invoices. To get there, simply click the 'Admin' button in the header. If you're not logged in, you'll be prompted to create an account or sign in.

Step 2: Upload a Template Image

Once in the Admin Panel, select the invoice type you want to configure (e.g., 'Flipkart'). You'll be prompted to upload a sample image of that invoice. It's best to use a clear, high-quality screenshot or a single page from a PDF.

Step 3: Define Crop Areas

With your template image loaded, simply click and drag your mouse over the sections you want to crop. For example, you might want to create separate crops for the shipping label and the order summary. A new crop area will appear. You can name each area (e.g., 'Shipping Label') in the right-hand panel.

Step 4: Save Your Configuration

After defining all your desired crop areas, click the 'Save Configuration' button. That's it! Your template is now saved. The next time you upload a PDF of that vendor type on the main page, the system will automatically apply these crop settings.

Step 5: Process Your First Invoice

Navigate back to the home page, select the correct invoice type, and upload your PDF. The system will process it, and a download of the cropped sections will begin automatically. For supported vendors like Flipkart and Meesho, you'll also see a convenient summary of the invoice contents. Happy cropping!
