Document Trimmer

Step 1 — Trim your PDFs

This cuts each OEM service PDF down to the pages that prove a calibration is required — the reason statements (“if the bumper is removed, the radar must be calibrated”), the component location diagram, and any wheel-alignment requirement. How-to steps, target setup and torque specs are removed. Your original files are never changed — a separate trimmed copy is made, in the same folder layout, plus an Excel report.

1 · TrimPoint it at your folder and start. 2 · Check & fixLook at the documents it flagged, fix anything wrong. 3 · ProjectsEvery zip/folder you trim becomes a project — find it, finish it, download it.

Folder of OEM PDFs to trim

Where to put the trimmed copy (a new or empty folder is best)

Turn every page the right way up, wide (landscape) Recommended — leave on. Sideways pages get turned upright; tall pages are set on a wide sheet so they read on screen. The highlighter marks already in these PDFs are not ours On by default. Those marks are wiped from the trimmed copy, and the trimmer stops treating them as a reason to keep a page — otherwise somebody else’s ink forces pages to be kept and you undo it by hand in every document. Untick it if your own team put those marks there on purpose. Either way you can erase or add marks page by page later.

A few minutes for a big folder. You can leave this page; come back any time.

Page

Pick a color and drag across the words to highlight them. Eraser: click any highlight — yours or an old one — to remove it. Nothing is saved until you press Save on the document.

How the Document Trimmer works

It takes the OEM service PDFs and keeps only the pages that prove to an insurance carrier that a calibration is required — the reason (“if this part is removed/replaced, calibrate that sensor”), the component location picture, and any wheel-alignment requirement. Everything about how to calibrate is removed. Your originals are never touched.

The three steps

Trim — pick the folder (or drop a zip) and press Start trimming. The whole folder comes out the other side right away: documents it was sure about are already trimmed; documents it wasn’t sure about are copied in untouched and flagged for you.
Check & fix — it hands you the flagged documents one at a time. Every page is a card. Hit ✕ on a page to remove it (hit again to keep it). Click a page to see it full size, use the big side arrows to page through, and highlight the reason statement. Save and go to next rewrites that PDF and moves on. Skip for now leaves it untouched.
Projects — every zip or folder you trim is a project card: how far along it is, open it to keep checking, download the finished zip, or accept the trimmer’s choices for everything left in one go.

Colors

Green page will be kept · Red page will be removed · ? Yellow the trimmer wasn’t sure — it is being kept; you decide.

Highlighter: Blue why a calibration is needed · Yellow wheel alignment required first · Green module programming required.

It learns from you

Every document you save by hand teaches it — and it’s a snowball: the moment it learns something, it goes back over the documents still waiting in your project and re-judges them with the new rule. Documents that now come out clean clear themselves; the rest come to you with fewer question marks. Words you highlight in blue become a rule immediately. Kinds of pages you always remove get removed automatically after you’ve done it enough times. You can see and switch off anything it learned under Projects → Patterns from your corrections.

Eddy — the apprentice

Eddy is an AI helper that reads the pages the trimmer could not decide on its own. You will find him under Projects, just above your project list. He starts out trusted with nothing:

He watches by himself. Every time anyone saves a document, Eddy reads the same pages and is scored against what that person actually decided. Nobody has to press anything — the work was being done anyway.
Test Eddy on pages you’ve done — the same thing on demand, over one batch. Catch Eddy up on finished work does it for documents that were finished before he was watching.
Until he agrees with you on 95% of them he cannot finish anything on his own. He only leaves an opinion on each page — a small Eddy: keep or Eddy: remove tag on the page card — and you still decide.
Put Eddy on this batch reads every unsure page in the project you have open. The cost is shown before you start, and there is a hard budget he cannot spend past.

Eddy can never remove a page the trimmer found a calibration reason on, and never a page you highlighted. He can agree with a removal; he cannot invent one. Anything he finishes is labelled as his, so you can always see what no person has looked at yet.

Safety

It never removes a page unless it can see that page is how-to content. Anything it isn’t sure about stays in. Every file it writes is re-opened and checked. If something looks wrong, skip it and tell your supervisor — nothing is lost by skipping.

Getting around

The blue bar under the header always shows the project you’re on, how far along it is, and a download/open button — switch projects right there. Check & fix serves the easiest documents first (fewest question marks) unless you switch to document order. Skipped documents go to the back of the line; when everything else is done you get a “Revisit the skipped ones” button. Use find a document (in Check & fix or Projects) to jump to any flagged document by name, e.g. “4Runner WSC”. On a page card, ≡ same kind marks every page in that document that the trimmer read the same way. Reopening the app drops you back where you left off.
