It can reformat double columns, cut off margins, etc. But I am fairly certain that none of it will work on an image-based PDF as is common with straight-up scans. You would have to edit the pictures themselves to produce any changes, there's no such thing as parsing the text and reflowing it. Though the margins might work to crop out any extraneous space around the picture (not space IN the picture), if there is any.

I would seriously suggest using a tablet though, if you want to read PDFs.
It will work on scans (image-based PDFs, with or without ocr layer in the background) as well, including text reflow.

However it seems the text is too small for my liking.
If i can remove or reduce the kindles margins on pdf's it would be perfect.

tldr; How to reduce margins when viewing PDF's?
For more info on k2pdfopt and other cropping apps and methods there is PDF sub-forum.
