Generally speaking, this is correct. However, it already happenend once or twice that Kobo did changes to the firmware without changing the version number. So it can happen that the version on your device is actually different from the version you use for patching. This can (but does not necessary) have bad effects. I am not aware that 3.2.0 has be changed at any time. To be on the save side you could re-install it, before patching. But then, why not upgrading to 3.3.0? And the worst thing that can happen with applying a wrong patch is that you have to factory reset the device.

I have already edited the said PDF to have virtually 0 margins in the file but there remains a ton of space when the aura is displaying it.
I don't use the patches myself and I try to avoid reading pdfs with nickel, so I don't know for sure, but I think the margins patch does not effect pdfs.
