Example:
my_pdf_crop.py -s -p 0.5 -i input.pdf -o output.pdf
my_pdf_crop.py --skip --percent 0.5 -input input.pdf -output output.pdf
\n
REQUIRED OPTIONS:
-p\t--percent
The factor by which to crop. Must be positive and less than or equal to 1.

-i\t--input
The path to the file to be cropped.
\n
OPTIONAL:
-s\t--skip
Skip the first page. Ouptut file will not contain the first page of the input file.

-o\t--output
Specify the name and path of the output file. If none specified, the script appends \'cropped\' to the file name.

-m\t--margin
Specify additional absolute cropping, for fine tuning results.
