You can't change margins in a PDF. You can:

change the margins in the source document (Word, InDesign, etc.) and export a new PDF
scale the PDF when printing
resize the text frames if there aren't too many frames or pages. Make a copy first, as it may or may not work.

Where are you seeing these margins? On the printed sheet? or on screen?

Also: where did the PDF come from: which program and what were your steps in creating it?

Ignore the margins in the print properties; they do not affect PDF printing in any way.
