Printing existing PDFs to new PDFs won't help; all that does is put the entire current page in (potentially) a new-sized page. It won't shrink the margins, and it certainly won't adjust the text for a new page layout.
If you can find a tool for the Mac that will let you save out as HTML, RTF or Doc, you could then edit the formatting and make a new PDF (or other format of ebook), but that's quite a bit of hassle. (Assume 1/2 hour of formatting for a very simple, well-formatted book with a program you're very comfortable with; 1 hour on average, 2-4 hours for anything involving tables or images with captions.)
No idea about editing metadata on a Mac; I hope someone gets back to you about that.
