As the page format is consistent on every page, is it possible to automatically crop each page by specifying the area we want to keep? Which software is able to do it easily?
I attach my sample document for your view.

Hi:
If you are trying to process scanned documents I think that the best way to handle them is filtering thru scan2pdf or scantailor (thanks frabjous for this). See this thread for a discussion on this topic.
Another poster in this forum (sorry, I can't remember who) suggest to convert them to lrf (sony propietary format, i know you have a nook) and then again to pdf with calibre. This is because the auto croping and spiting feature of pdflrf. It tries to remove the margins and split the pages where there is no text.
Finally, I think that the command line tool suggested by frabjous is perhaps the most useful way of cropping efficiently.
