Saving as TIF or JPG is not a good approach, because both of these are fixed-resolution raster image formats. If the document contains text or vector graphics, you give up the nearly infinite scalability of the PDF file by going to a fixed pattern of dots. And if you use JPG, you're also dealing with a lossy compression method that is particularly ill-suited for text or line art (it was designed specifically for photographic images where the smudgy artifacts it introduces near hard edges are not so noticeable).
If you want to remove the cropped area of a PDF without compromising the quality, the correct approach is to export as EPS or PostScript.

If I want to get rid of all the information - after I crop the file I save as TIF or JPG then drop it back in Acrobat. Bow I have a PDF with just the cropped data.
