There is no such thing as "white space" in a PDF - so you can't measure it or 
remove it.

However, if you wish to detect the bounding box of all content on the page and 
reset the CropBox to those values (playing with the MediaBox is tricky!!) - 
that's certainly a doable goal.  Though not with iText :(.

Subject: [iText-questions] How to remove whitespace from a PDF


I am new to iText, but I have a task to remove the whitespace from the edges of 
my PDFs.  How can I detect how much white space there is on each edge of the 
PDF?  I believe I would then adjust the MEDIABOX and CROPBOX and use the 
PdfStamper to create the new resized PDF.
