Now we're cooking with gas. This was exactly what I was looking for; A way to "crop-and-zoom", fit the PDF pages to the screen at the largest possible type in a full page!
Seriously, it is amazing to see this kind of help from a fellow forum-member. Thanks don't begin to describe it.

I'm looking into Applescript right now. It's easy enough to basically create a script that calls up yours and sticks it in a Finder's contextual menu, but it's going to require a bit of research to allow it to "do its thing" from another folder other than the one it resides in, if that makes sense.

It has been leaving "tmppdf3to4dirkk" with various PDF files (each page's "crop", "out" and "skew") - Should it be doing that or should it automatically be trashing that folder of what's obviously temporary files when done with the conversion?

I also love and appreciate BRISS, but in the case of what you've done here, by scaling (if that's the correct term) is almost make the headers and footers inconsequential, whether they are they or not. Obviously, I don't see them on the screen since they stay fit to the widest margin set by the actual type.

Again, sincere thanks.
