Adding a margin to PDF slide deck

Hello,

My professors upload their slides as pdf documents, and I am hoping to add a 1-2 inch white margin to the right side in order to take notes. Is there a way to do this in Adobe Reader or preview, or any other free application? I have a Macbook Pro, so unfortunately cannot use PDF annotator.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

    In Acrobat Pro you can use the Crop Pages command or a script to add white

    space around a page (ie, increase the size of the bounding boxes of the

    pages).

    Not possible with the free Adobe Reader.
