How to crop all images from all pages at once?

I have a PDF document with different sizes of pages. Each page contains only one image and nothing more. So 190 pages and 190 images. And every Image occupies 100% of page space. I need to resize pages to make them all the same size. But when I select all pages in "Organize pages" and crop them via the crop function, the sizes of images don't change, only the sizes of pages change. I can crop every single page via the crop function, but I need a lot of time to do the same actions with every single page. I don't know how to crop all the images at once.
How to solve my problem?

You can use a preflight fixup to make all pages the same size, Tools>Print production> Preflight> Fixups. You can choose from several methods, (see attached screen shot). To access and edit the options, you must first duplicate an existing preflight fixup from the options fly out menu. If you want to re-size the page content without changing the page size, start with the fixup "Scale page content only to specified value".

Another option would be to create an InDesign file at the desired size and place the pdf, (using the place multipage pdf script, if you have many pages) where you have good control over the size, cropping and position of the images, export to a new pdf.

The crop pages command only crops entire pages, not the objects in them. To do that you might be able to use the Preflight tool, but I'm not 100% sure about that, either. A plugin might be able to do it, though.
