Can I remove crop marks using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI?

Yes. You can use the crop pages feature and then sanitation to remove data outside the cropped region.

'View' > 'Show/Hide' > 'Navigation Panes' > 'Content'

This allows me to find and delete just the marks without cropping the document.

    in Adobe Acrobat DC I found the following option, worked like a charm:

    open your pdf

    go to Print Production

    go to Preflight

    select the Library: Prepress, Color and Transparency

    click in the little tool icon (wrench) and then search for the word 'Crop' in the search bar

    select the preset 'Set Cropbox to Trimbox'

    click on the button 'Fix' at the bottom

    happy cropping...

      This is what I did ,

      1- go to VIEW - TOOLS, don't select anything from the drop down menu just release and this will open the tools window on the right hand side.

      2- Select PAGES

      3- Select CROP, then over the document manually crop the area you need. This will create a red line around the area.

      4-Double click on the red line

      5- This screen will pop up. You can now refine the crop using the fields. Make SURE that ALL PAGES are selected on the bottom right if you want this crop to apply to the entire document.  Took me a while to figure this out DUH.

      The crops are still there but not visible.

      Mylenium, I hate to ask, but in Acrobat XI, where do I find the Crop Pages feature?

      In the right sidebar, under Tools > Pages, I see a Crop command. This seems to allow me to draw a box, but it does not seem very precise.

      Under Print Production, I see a Set Pages Boxes command. I can't figure out how this works. I can choose Trim from a pop-up menu and guides show up where they should, but they just disappear when I click OK. (Also, the margin numnbers in that box get set to zero after doing tha; but, I digress.)

      So, how can I just accurately trim the page to the trim area?

      Thank you!

      If you drag out an approximate area with the Crop tool, you'll see a crop boundary. Double-click on the area to open the Set Page Boxes command. Then you can refine the crop numerically.
