Sorry for the time lag...

I was able to trim the margins off a PDF within Acrobat Pro 8 and then Export to PS. Then I right-clicked the PS file and was given the option to create a PDF from it. I clicked on that and the PDF was created of the file with the reduced margins intact.

When I transferred that file to my DX and the trimmed version is what shows. What I had trimmed remained trimmed.

So, I'm sorry it didn't work for you, but the short process seems to work fine for me (at least for this one PDF. It's 193 pages long, btw, and a tad over 8MB). The PDF is much easier to read since the type is now larger on the screen.

This was all done on the Vista laptop (which is what my Opticbook is plugged into) and with Acrobat Pro 8.

Hope you can find a process that works for you.
