Excellent. Well, not really, since Apple is worse than Microsoft in a lot of ways..., but it makes writing a script very easy, since it can be written in bash.

But it would help to know what you already have installed. Do you have ghostscript installed? Or calibre? Calibre's command line tools could help with preserving metadata. (If you don't know whether or not you have ghostscript installed, try opening a terminal and typing in gs -v.)

I could either write a script that both auto-cropped the PDF, and then stretched it, or one that just stretched it, meaning you would have to use BRISS (or whatever you preferred) beforehand (but you'd also have more flexibility in, e.g., removing headers). Do you have a preference?

Anyway, I'll try to work on one when I get a chance.
