How to crop multiple images to the exact same pixel size?

I have hundreds of scans all from one book and I am trying to straighten and crop them all out to the same pixel amounts. For example, I have a bunch of scans that are 1000x1000 pixels with overscan on all sides, they are also all at an angle. In the end I want a folder with all the pages at 800x800 nice and straight. So, when I open the first one, I crop and straighten it to 800x800 and then I make a custom specification at 800x800. The problem is, when I go to the next one and hit crop and pic my specification, I find out that that specification is actually for an aspect ration, not a particular dimension. I want it to automatically put the crop window to 800x800, not just restrict the crop to that aspect ratio. If this could be done it would significantly quicken my work flow. Any help?
 
Create new document as big as you like, drag your guide lines to create a 800 x 800 pixel box the just paste your scans in the box and scale to fit.
 
Set up an action: File-Automate-Crop and straighten, and File-Automate-Fit image to resize them.
 
This would work H but from what I can gather, the source images vary in size so not as simple as just resizing stuff. Had thought of actions but read that the are different sizes so may not be ideal for what the OP is trying to achieve.
 
He did, just reread what he said and remember thinking an Action wouldn't work but have just realised he said they were at angles so didn't think this method would work, hopefully the OP will be able to say for sure if actions would work.
I am not a great user of actions so could very well be wrong :lol:
 
Yah, it's not like I don't know how to achieve this at all, I'm just trying to speed up my workflow. At the moment, every time I open a new image I select the pixel profile (which just restricts the ratio) and then have to manually stretch it to the actual pixels I want. I am trying to avoid that last part. I'm out now so I can't actually try it, but because the original papers were all the same size and I used the same scanner with all the same settings for all of them they are effectively all the same size. The only thing is that they are all skewed a bit which has to be manually fixed for each image. The deskewing is fine, I'm just shocked there is now way to crop to a specific pixel amount multiple times more easily. Thanks for any help!
