Happy that you're happy.
But the advantage of pdfcrop is that it works whereas -dpreview
doesn't. (There happens to be an active thread here on that matter ¹.)
You also add a tool to your armoury that you can use on many

you didn't produce yourself.

²Obviously not PDFs that are actually just wrapped images, and it
doesn't like completely blank pages.
Cheers,
David.
