I'm processing scanned pages of our Publishing Co's out-of-print books for resale as downloadable PDFs. One problem I'm having is that OCR/deskewing the pages changes the trim size slightly (possibly depending upon how much rotation is required), and Crop Pages won't change them back.
I've seen various workarounds to open them as TIFs in Photoshop and create a new PDF from those, but that doesn't do it either.
Our scanner can scan directly to PDF, TIF, or JPG. I'm assuming PDF is best, because I want Acrobat Pro to deskew the scans automatically (as much as possible). We've got a lot of pages to make as professional looking scans as possible. Is there a best practices workflow available somewhere for doing what I'm trying to do?
Thanks!

Shutdown Acrobat and Follow the installation instructions. Restart Acrobat. It will place 3 buttons on Acrobat's Add-Ins Toolbar. One of these buttons is for resizing document pages. If you want write your own script for this for better automation then read this article.
