the white border is not "the right way to handle it", the white border is there
in the pdf file and we render it because you ask us to do it.

Why? If you do not set the cropbox, we render according to the mediabox, and
the white rectangle is there, so we render it.

> if it's the right way, in which usage i shouldn't use -cropbox? 

When you want to render the mediabox instead of the cropbox

> a image with a white border seams corrupt for me.

Again, we add no white border at all, we just render what is on the pdf.

> and finally, i can't know that i have to use -cropbox with some pdfs.

Please read about the cropbox, mediabox, et al concepts regarding PDF because
it seems to me you really do not seem to know what you are talking about.
Basically you most probably always want the cropbox option.

I'm closing the bug because i see in no way we do anything wrong.
