Thanks, I forgot about it.

This does the trick…

Code:

cpdf.exe -crop "0 70 340.2 462.12" input.pdf -o output.pdf

… but it obviously also removes the bottom of each page.

From what I read, a PDF is a list of objects, with an index at the end.

Is there no way for a script/application to go through that list of objects, find those that contain a given string, and remove them from the list?

The string I want to remove probably lives in the text layer that was added after running the scanned document through an OCR so the user can select/copy instead of having just a bitmap.
