Can you please tell me how I in Linux without using a graphical program can remove margins in a pdf document? Since you seem to say that all useful fuctionality is implemented. or using a graphical program for that matter?
No. (Not that I refuse to tell you...)

Assuming you are referring to a PDF document that isn't tagged (because, if it is, the margins automatically adjust to your reader), you're asking about reformatting a document layout that is not designed to be reformatted after it is created. A tagged PDF would not give you that problem.

If the document isn't properly set for the use you put it to (which, in the case of e-books, includes tagging), you're wasting a lot of time. True, many PDFs are not tagged, which makes them poor e-book files. That's no reason to condemn the lot.
