Automatic downloading of USGS geopdf files

Not a requirement, but somehow being able to download the USGS geopdf (zip) files from within the program would be cool. Probably hard to implement as the only way I know how to get them is via the store.usgs.gov map locator.
Alternatively -
add the usgs data sources to the download online data area - (you already have the NAIP) and have it automatically style like the USTOPO maps. That'd be a treat with less hassle of pdf (see below).
Also - the auto crop collar doesnt work on most geopdfs I've tried (I mentioned this already) is there a way to bulk make it crop to the lat/long option rather than one at a time?

Can you point me at a a GeoPDF that doesn't crop correctly automatically? I'm guessing the crop polygon is just specified incorrectly in the PDF file. You should be able to select multiple loaded GeoPDF file in the Control Center, press Options, then go to the Cropping tab and specify to crop to a specific boundary.
Thanks,

the bottom of the file at the link above (less so on the sides) but cropping is fine when set to the lat/lon.
When I highlight all of the files (say 6 of the USTOPO) and hit crop to the specific lat/lon it only crops to that lat/long (from one of the quads) and cuts the rest of the maps off, and if there are overlapping collars from other maps later in the draw order, it keeps those collars.
But it does work if I set each map individually.
I am aware of the USGS DRG and DOQ sources, and use them. But it was the USTOPO that was of interest here. They have a nice site for downloading them, but if you need several, it starts to be...tedious.
I haven't found the source for all of the USGS data (ie their contour line files, annotation, hyd etc). I do know how to find the NHD, and some other road files, but I'm not sure what dataset the usgs is using. It'd be nice if they had a USTOPO data source page where you could download shapefiles or something.
Let me know if I can be of further assistance.
Thanks,
