I have several PDFs I want to read on the Kindle.

They are presentations, with large fonts and complex layouts.
Kindle 2 with firmware 2.3 handles them just fine, they are quite readable in landscape mode.

However, when stretched to fit the Kindle screen horizontally, every page is just slightly bigger than one screen vertically.
So all pages are split right before the bottom edge. When paging through the document, every second page is almost blank, except for a small stripe from the previous page.

As far as I know there is no way to zoom PDFs on the kindle.
Can I somehow add some padding to the left and right border of each page in the PDF? (I do not have the original files used to generate the PDFs)
If the pages were just a little bit wider, then each page would fit on one screen.
