Neither do I, which is why I haven't implemented it yet.

Actually, I think it's largely impossible to do it the way I like to do
it by hand, because I often keep page headers and footers outside of the
viewable area, so the tool would have to be able to recognize those
automatically, which seems close to impossible.
I've tried to use pdfcrop a few times but it almost always bumps into
some text displayed in some corner and ends up showing me more than
I want to see.
