We have plenty of Macs on campus, so I can use them when necessary. But, does it crop white margins of scanned PDFs? Can you crop margins of a PDF which I have attached to the post?

UPDATE: I tried it out - no luck; it does not crop white margins automatically, only with set parameters, i.e. if margins of scanned pages are different you may very likely cut off some text.
