If you have a Mac, you can use Preview to crop.
There are a number of free cropping tools that work on any platform as well. For example, search these forums for 'BRISS'.
I did so, but it is annoying to edit every pdf by hand. I used the linux utility "pdfcrop" in case some linux users are interested..
