German term or phrase: zugeschnitten
I understand what the word itself means, but I wonder if I can translate "zugeschnitten" as "cropped," or is something like "trimmed" a better choice? Here is the relevant context:

"Die Seiten werden zugeschnitten

Ein Schwarz-Weiß punktierter Rahmen markiert in der Arbeitsoberfläche den sogenannten Anschnitt. Bei der Produktion wird die Seite auf das durch den Anschnitt definierte Maß zugeschnitten."

TIA!
