Can you hard crop a PDF and make it final?

Question

I know how to crop a PDF in Acrobat, but its more of a soft crop meaning you can undo the crop later if you wanted.

My issue is that I have some websites I regularly upload print ready PDFs to that verify the PDF size. They always see the PDF at its actual size and not the cropped size. The only way I can find to get around this is to drop the PDF into InDesign and make a new PDF at the size I need. This just takes a lot of extra time and files. Can the PDF be cropped in Acrobat in a way so its final and considered the new actual size of it?

Please go through the section, Create and use a custom page size in the help page: https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/using-pdf-printer.html and see if that works for you.
