How to change Margins in PDF?

Thank you in advance for your assistance. I am evaluating 8.0 Professional on my pc (XP SP2 w/ 3.5GB of RAM and 2.5GHZ CPU). I want to see if the Professional can modify margins of pdf files that I get from various places but I am not finding anything in the documentation or via google. This should be an easy thing to do, like in MS Word you go to "Page Setup" and change the margins. I cannot find this functionality in Acrobat 8.0. Can someone please tell me how to modify the margins? The document in it's present configuration wastes paper and leaves alot of it blank when it could be printed on. Trying to be a conscientious worker by not wasting paper and Acrobat is not cooperating with me.

Thanks,
Erik

    Access the Crop Pages dialog (via the Crop Tool).
    The bottom pane, Change Page Size permits configuration of a custom width and height.
    Bumping out these values might meet your needs.

    Be well...

    No, Acrobat and Reader are not like MS Word. They are page display programs. Changing the margin also changes the text wrapping and location.

    But you can change the page scaling so the PDF margins fit the printer's margins in the "Print" UI.

    I also have a simular question. We have thousands of PDF documents that the Police and Fire stations have already saved. But the clerk of the courts now needs a 1 inch bourder at the top of all PDF's is there a faster way to set that up within the user profile so that when a pdf is opened that the corrections has been added to the boarder or is a one document at a time fix? If so this is going to take alot of man hours to make the changes.
