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.
My opinions only; I don't speak for Intel.

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.
