delete chunk of a pdf page

Great idea about the cropbox, it does suit my needs, but I had a funny thing happen when I tried to print the document, the page that I modified the crop box on was rotated to landscape from portrait, since the printable area became 8.5in by 5.5in instead of 8.5in by 11in.  If I changed the "auto-rotate and center" checkbox in the pop-up printing options it printed properly, but then I lose the rotations on the pages that are supposed to be.  I was using PdfWriter instead of PdfStamper, would that make the difference?  Thanks again for your help, and if you had any more thoughts about what I can do with the rotation issue, I would be grateful to hear them.

All the best,

Brendan
