But actually, on Ubuntu, here's a cool alternative. Rather than setting the x, y, w and v values manually, you can have ghostscript analyze the pages and determine where they should be cropped:

Quote:
for i in *.pdf ; do gs -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=bbox "$i" 2> bounding ; pdfmanipulate crop -o "${i%.pdf}-cropped.pdf" -b bounding "$i"; done
I didn't suggest that for SpyKiller, since (s)he wanted to crop some non-empty parts of the page (decorative border), and this will leave them, but it's cool for other purposes.

Probably you can do that with Windows too, but I don't really have experience with ghostscript for Windows.
