When we use includegraphics together with trim and clip, the images don't actually get changed, but it simply hides parts of the images, so the PDF files become very large, and the files are less compatible (e.g. can't be opened with Libre Office).
Any solutions? Can we somehow make includegraphics work? Are there tools to post-process the PDF files and fix the images?

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.
And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

That includegraphics / trim / clip bug
You might try Heiko Oberdiek's PDFcrop tool (https://ctan.org/pkg/pdfcrop), which ships with TeXLIVE on my distribution. Its main feature is to automatically remove whitespace from the edges, but it also allows you to set margins and clip much like 
graphicx does.
