Is it possible to crop a PDF and terminate all graphics outside the cropbox, just not hide everything outside the cropbox?

[Eternal Warrior]

Yes but you need to use redaction...

Either use it with the crop tool and then select everything hidden by crop and apply redaction or just use redaction on its own.

In Acrobat Pro DC you can sanitize the document.

Yes, it's possible to do it using the Redaction tool, as mentioned. I've also developed a tool that does that for you automatically:

Custom-made Adobe Scripts: Acrobat -- Remove Everything Outside the Trim/Crop/Bleed/Art Box

[Stiffmeister]

Does this script handle vector graphics both inside and outside the pageboxes as well?

For example i have a vector box that bleeds.

It should do, yes, but if you want to make sure you can send me a sample file and I'll run the script on it and send you back the results.
