You posted in the PitStop Pro forum, so I assume you mean crop the PDF using the PitStop Pro plugin within Acrobat.

In PitStop Pro you can crop a PDF by moving the mediabox (and possibly others) of a PDF. There are some ways to do this:

It sounds like you wish to make permanent/destructive changes? If so, you could try something like the attached action list screenshot.

Change all PageBoxes to the TrimBox, "hard crop" lineart to the TrimBox and clipping masks, remove objects outside of the TrimBox and remove invisible objects. If the PDF has been cropped, then you may prefer to use the CropBox rather than the TrimBox. There may be some other steps required, I just knocked this up as a quick demo.
