I have a number of 4" pvc stand pipes that need to be trimmed down, prior to new gutters being installed.

I always struggle when the pipe is against a wall or in a corner with cutting them off cleanly and flat... esp. when I take a multi-tool to it.

Is there a trick do doing this? I am thinking for the ones against a wall, using a back saw or similar saw with a wide blade may help. Any tips or tricks on this would be great.

Cable saw with the band to follow sounds like a good idea.. I've never tried it.. cable saws are kinda wonky to get a clean straight cut and once you start.. you need to cut all the way through or you will get it stuck in molten plastic
