Cropping white margins in document preview
I am working on a document using the book class, with the default font size of 10pt and default margins.
documentclass[oneside]{book}
usepackage{blindtext}
begin{document}
blindtext
end{document}
I usually use Overleaf, or MiKTeX when the connection is shaky. Now, the "style" that I'm using is indeed the style that I want my final document to be in.
However, in the meantime, since I am on a 15" screen, I could really do away with those large white margins and have a better preview.
Just setting very thin margins with geometry is not what I'm looking for. I only want to crop the margins in the PDF preview, without changing the way the text looks.
The preview package with option setlengthPreviewBorder{5pt} is very close to what I'm aiming for, but only "in principle" since it always outputs a single page, which is not what I want.
I can try to explain it better if what I've said so far makes little sense, so do let me know.

You can use the current width/height in the geometry options:
documentclass{book}
usepackage[textwidth=textwidth,textheight=textheight,
paperwidth=dimexprtextwidth+1cm,
paperheight=dimexprtextheight+1cm]{geometry}
begin{document}
thetextwidth quad thetextheight
end{document}

The package geometry provides option to set text height, text width and margins. For example:
usepackage[total={6.5in,8.75in},
top=1mm, left=1mm,right=1mm, bottom=1mm]{geometry}
This sets textwidth=6.5in and textheight=8.75in and margins to 1mm. One can adjust the margin to required amount keeping the text area constant. The page size will be adjusted accordingly.
