How to change Margins in PDF?

In Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Professional, you can adjust the margins of a PDF document by using the "Crop Pages" tool. To access this feature, go to the "Document" menu, select "Crop Pages," and then you can manually adjust the margins by entering new values or by dragging the margins' edges to your desired size. This will help you reduce wasted paper and make your PDFs more efficient.

Ctrl+p-->"more settings"--> Scale(%) set to 65%--> print (printing pdf that opened in a web page).  I'm facing a similar problem.  I have a report that exports to a pdf in a web browser and it has like 0.2" columns that get cut off when printed.  I don't want to nor have time to save it and manipulate it with Adobe DC or other program.  Using the print option "fit to printable area" does nothing.  And using the "system dialog" option to reduce the "% of actual size" only partially works (bottom and right side of page are still cut off).  The only thing that worked for me is to change the scale in the web page print menu.  

The whole thing is pretty goofy. I'm sick of the Adobe apologists intoning: "It's an image not a Word doc." What arrogance. So what? IMAGES can be resized, too. Erik wasn't asking the text to be re-flowed. Duh.

• Weird, though, Acrobat does have a Custom Scale setting, but it disappears when I select Multiple Pages.
• Weird #2: there is a nice Margin Setting dialog under Page Setup, but the choices always seem to be greyed out, whether I'm in sigle or multiple pages. What the hey!?

Okay, I won't meet the voices of arrogance with more whining. I have a cheap workaround, Erik:

When my choice of 2pp side-by-side on landscape prints too tiny... with tons of white margin, I just trick the program into thinking I'm printing on A4 paper (the European size 0.69" longer than our 8.5x11 letter). Then, by killing most of the side margin space, the result comes out with a more readable typesize. The heck with buying add-ons, etc. 

Hope this trick helps until Adobe's programmers wise up.

SO it is pretty sad that Adobe no longer allows you to set margins when printing -- you have to buy Acrobat Pro -- I am so tired of Adobe I could scream ... truly a piss poor product and business approach ... if you want to do ANYTHING with a pdf - you need to buy the full solution -- you suck Adobe!!

This might help, I know late to the original question, but might help someone else seeking the same answer.

This helped re-size the PDF of a court document, which I was refiling as an exhibit, because the re-filing would add another court stamp at the top, and I wanted a space at the top so the court stamps did not overlap. (So, enlarged margins, but on a PDF I had no control or authority to edit in another program). 

Set Page Boxes (found searching for re-size), change page sizes, fixed sizes, then choose one of the default page sizes. This automatically created a larger margin and smaller image of the PDF document per page. 

This was done using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC.

I found it much easier to simply print the document, then reduce the copy size as an ad hoc margin adjustment.  I needed the margins smaller and right side greater than left to add pdf document to a 3 prong notebook.  Printing them at 95% allowed me enough margin to do that and the resolution is clear nad readable.  Good luck fellow Adobians! 🙂

With so many documents being distributed as PDFs it seems eminently reasonable that print dialog boxes -- or at least the "print to PDF" print dialog box -- would allow adjustment of even number page margins to have consistent margins on left and right pages when printing double sided. I wouldn't mind the intermediate "print to PDF" step if it accomplished the task.

Helpful that it was stated .pdf is a final format, not set up for editing in major ways.  Acrobat will export, so I used that and opened in a compatible word processor.  That program had the margin changing feature.

Did you try Acrobat? Adobe has these features, but not in the free Reader.
