Can anyone suggest a free alternative for cropping PDF's? The Adobe crop may work on Sony readers but it is not working on my Epub version for Stanza on my iTouch!
If your end goal is ePub (not just a cropped PDF), you can:
1) Crop in Acrobat
2) Export as HTML
3) Open the HTML file in Stanza or Calibre
4) Send to iPod Touch

(I actually edit it in Sigil after converting)

On the Mac, you can even do the "non destructive" crop in Acrobat, export as HTML, then open the HTML file in Safari, select Print, and "save as PDF" in the print dialog...ending up with a PDF that is destructively cropped (i.e. headers and footers will be gone)
