Selective crop in pages of a PDF document

How to extract concrete sections of concrete pages in a PDF document, without converting to images first and then cropping images? Is there a way to parameterize convert to do this job?

Edit: Say, for example, that over a PDF file of several pages, I want to extract only an upper half in page 100, and a central square in page 200. How do I specify these coordinates and page numbers.

you can download a version of Acrobat Pro 7 with serial number from the Adobe web site from:

Mind their comment though:

Adobe has disabled the activation server for CS2 products, including Acrobat 7, because of a technical issue. These products were released more than seven years ago and do not run on many modern operating systems; Adobe no longer supports them. Adobe strongly advises against running unsupported and outdated software. Only customers who legitimately purchased CS2 or Acrobat 7 and need to maintain their current use of these products may use the serial numbers provided during the download.
