How to Undo, Redo, and Restore a PDF to Its Original on iPhone
PDFCrop tracks your full editing history, so you can undo or redo any crop at any time — and one-tap restore the document to its original, uncropped state to start over.
Steps
- Crop pages in PDFCrop as usual.
- Made a mistake? Tap undo — or redo to reapply.
- Step through the editing history as needed.
- Want a clean slate? Restore to original in one tap.
- Re-crop from there.
Why it works this way
Cropping is destructive if you can’t take it back — clip too much and the content’s gone. PDFCrop keeps a full history so any operation is reversible, and a one-tap restore returns the untouched original, so you can experiment freely knowing you’re never more than a tap from where you started.
Tips & edge cases
- Experiment freely — undo and restore make cropping low-risk.
- Restore is the fastest way to abandon a bad crop entirely.
- Check the preview before exporting to avoid needing undo later.
