Based on our email conversations, I know that you are also reprinting your file again to PDF after cropping your PDF. This process is not recommended, as you can loose critical information in your PDF. See the blog entry [url=http://www.acrobatusers.com/blogs/leonardr/why-refrying-pdf-evil]Why "refrying" a PDF is evil![/url] for more information on this.

If you want to permanently remove crop information in your PDF, I recommend using the Preflight tool to do this. For details on how to do this, check out the [url=http://adobechats.adobe.acrobat.com/p91117955/]Hidden Gems in Preflight[/url] Tech Talk.
