I don't know but I can guess. Most of these PDF choppers & croppers don't actually remove anything. To chop a double page in half they duplicate the page and adjust the viewable area only. So one page has a 'window' only on the first half and the second page only on the second half.

I believe Adobe Acrobat Pro is one of the few programs with an option to actually remove the 'invisible' parts, but as I no longer have it installed I can't remember the exact command. Maybe a current user can oblige.

Edit: I think it was something like Examine Document followed by Remove Hidden Text
