Hi pimpoum

You are correct, in acobat the crop function does not really crop, it just hides the “cropped” part. As an example, crop a PDF and then save it, then open it again go to the crop option, choose Set To Zero and apply this to all the pages. = you get your uncropped original PDF back.

Concerning your problem, you can do a direct crop in acrobat crop page doing it by single page, by group of pages or all the pages, forcing the crop space into the pages.
To do so you just have to choose top, left, right or bottom in the crop window and clicking in the arrows near each option crate the crop line (by inserting space between the real margin and the new one), as you are doing this you see the lines of the future crop being designed and moving in the little page showed as an example. When you are comfortable with the result you can apply this to the chosen page (the default) to a group of pages or to the all file by changing the settings in the Page Range option in the right down side of the window.

Not being a real (destructive crop) it does work as expected in the Cybook and Sony readers.
