With the help of a bit of Java code I put together I'm surviving, if not exactly thriving, with the iLiad's screen and Letter sized PDF's...

The code takes a letter sized PDF, rotates each page 90 degrees (I prefer that to 270, page bar makes more sense to me) and then duplicates each page and sets separate crop boxes onto each duplicate so you get a top and bottom page. The two pages are added to the new output file, prefixed with "iLiad." and the process repeated for all pages.

If you feed it a Postscript PDF, you get Postscript in the new PDF.

I'm working on adapting a bit of code I have for auto-cropping the page before doing the above but haven't gotten it updated to the latest PDF spec yet. Thus the margins are still in the documents after conversion... soon though...
