I tried PDF Scissors yesterday. It's somewhat promising and the UI looks nice, but in its current form calling it a 'beta' is generous.
I could not save a cropped PDF on my mac, for example - it brought up an Open dialog instead of a Save dialog, and the only thing I could do was quit the app without saving anything.
I'm also not fond of the fact that it is a web app: Java code loads from the internet and runs locally in the JVM. It's too slow to load up, can't be used when offline, and raises issues of trust/security (the code is also not signed). I would also be reluctant to install Java on Windows just to run this one app (Yet Another thing to update...).
It also needs to have at least ability to crop even/odd pages separately. Too many PDFs have wide margins on the 'binding edge', and are not suitable for one size fits all cropping. Ability to crop page ranges (in combination with even/odd filter) would be good also.
But there are a lot of other tools out there for cropping (and I agree with Starko that cropping is a key to a better PDF viewing experience on a 6" Kindle screen).
