Trim margins from PDF document

It happened to me once that I wanted to trim margins from a PDF document.

It was a manual for the Panasonic G1 camera.

You can see huge margins there, because it was officially written for A5 paper and they created a manual for A4.

See the picture:

I used pdfcrop script from Heiko Oberdiek, which can easily trim margins:

pdfcrop.pl --margins 10 panasonic_g1.pdf panasonic_g1-2.pdf

Here is the result:

I hope this can be useful for somebody who needs this…

The KDE PDF viewer Okular has the function “Trim Margins”, which works very well, but you cannot save the PDF…
