I'm fine with using PDF images into latex. How do I crop it to smaller dimensions & show some parts of an image and not others ?

As has already been explained, you can use pdfcrop to crop whitespace, or BRISS to hand-crop a different region.

pdfcrop is a Perl script that needs an corresponding Perl interpreter installed. For Windows you can get one for free [1]. The script is shipped with the common TeX distributions and can be run from the command line.
