There are some instructions in this thread for cropping scanned PDFs.

You could also try soPDF or PaperCrop or PDFread.
Yes..that's what I intend to do. There is no white margins at all in the document, each page is just too long. I have to change the proportion of the pages to be same as my Nook width:height proportion.

I already use GIMP to import, change the proportion, and save it in gif and xcf as layered image file. I don't know how to convert it further to pdf? The preview of the new proportion still looks good and very readable.
