In conclusionI still prefer a simple scriptTo be in the file menuIf anything can make me one I would greatly appreciate it.I don't think you can have that option in the File Menu, that would be more geared toward developing your own plug-ins, but you can use the Action Wizard to perform batch actions like this one or a Mouse-Up action with a button in the PDF. I would say, to refer to this discussion in which ACP Thom Parker provides valuable links to some of his fine tutorials in regards of media box versus crop box: https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat/can-i-set-the-mediabox-to-origin-0-0-using-javascript/td-p/9514034/page/3?page=1 Below is more in-depth tutorial about what you're asking: https://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/finding-page-boundaries/

I think you can achieve that by setting a page size.

If you're on windows see slides:

But if you're looking for a script, below are two different cases that I used trying to help another user in the forums a while ago.

In the example below I was using this script with the Action Wizard tool, not from a button, but you can also use it with a button Mouse-Up action. I am not sure who this original script belongs to for the proper credit (maybe Thom Parker).

/* Put script title here */
var rCrop = this.getPageBox("Crop",this.pageNum); 
rCrop[0] += 8.5; // Adjust Left Side 
rCrop[1] -= 5.7; // Adjust Top Side 
rCrop[2] -= 0; // Adjust Right Side 
rCrop[3] += 0; // Adjust Bottom Side 
this.setPageBoxes("Crop",this.pageNum,this.pageNum,rCrop);

var pp = this.getPrintParams();
pp.interactive = pp.constants.interactionLevel.manual;
pp.printerName = "Epson L805 Series";
this.print({bUI: true, nStart: this.pageNum})

Here's another case example that I've used with the guidance of some examples found in the Adobe Acrobat API Reference:

var pp = this.getPrintParams();
//pp.firstPage = 0;
//pp.lastPage = 24;
pp.interactive = pp.constants.interactionLevel.automatic;
pp.DuplexType = pp.constants.duplexTypes.DuplexFlipLongEdge;
pp.pageHandling = pp.constants.handling.fit;
pp.printerName = "Adobe PDF";
//if (this.getField("CH.6").value == "Yes") {this.print(false, 11,16)};
//this.print(pp);
if (this.getField("CH.6").value == "Yes") {this.print({bUI: false, nStart: 11, nEnd: 16,})};
