What would be the best way to crop the margins separately for odd and even pages before new release
In this release, assuming you have the MS Windows version, you can now graphically select margins for the even and odd pages by putting 'e' or 'o', respectively, into the "Pages to convert" box and then clicking the "Margin Select" button for each case and selecting your crop rectangle. The hitch is that after each rectangle selection, you need to translate the values in the left, top, right, and bottom "Crop Margins" boxes to -cbox values and put them in as a -cbox option in the "Additional Options" box. E.g. if the left, top, right, and bottom "Crop Margins" filled in by the GUI Margin Select for the even 8.5 x 11 pages are 0.5 in, 0.75 in, 1 in, and 1.5 in, respectively, then you'd need to put in this into the "Additional Options" box:

-cboxe 0.5in,0.75in,7in,8.75in


The 'e' is for even pages, and the last two values are width (8.5in - 0.5in - 1in) and height (11in - 0.75in -1.5in). You can then add another -cbox option for odd pages (-cboxo ...). It's complicated, I know, but at least it's a little easier than it used to be now that I added the "Margin Select" option. I plan to make this easier in a future release.
