No. Cropping changes the visible page area; content outside it may remain in the PDF.

Choose a PDF and select pages to crop.
Set crop margins numerically or choose the visible crop area in the preview.
Save the PDF and check the cropped pages.
Cropping changes the visible page area
Cropping adjusts the page boundary shown by PDF readers. It does not necessarily delete content outside that boundary, which may still be recoverable or visible in another application. Do not use cropping to redact confidential information.
