Yes it is easy to crop white space. I use ImageMagick to so in my manga processing program. The command is something like:
convert -fuzz 15% -bordercolor white -trim name_of_image.jpg output_name.jpg

Oh wait, you're trying to trim the white space around a pdf. I haven't tried that with ImageMagick. It may be able to do that too using the same command. I'll go try it out.

It does work for pdfs! Just run command:
convert -fuzz 15% -bordercolor white -trim input.pdf output.pdf
