I've recently been searching for a tool to do a hard crop on PDFs, because I'm running out of space on my reader. By this I mean, in PDFCropper (i think, it says it does on the site, i haven't tested it) and with Briss, the program generates frames, but actually keeps the entire image in the PDF. In fact, when I cropped a dual page scan using Briss, when I ran an image extractor, it seemed as if it was duplicating the image rather than generating a new frame on the same image: effectively doubling the PDF size devoted to images. (Is it supposed to do that?)

So I've been looking for a tool that does what Briss does, but actually crops the images stored in the PDF. I'm aware runtime on that kind of job would be exponentially greater, but I'm still trying to find a tool for it.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a tool like this?
