I can use Preview app to select a region and crop a page. Can I do the same cropping for a whole pages in pdf? Are there tools (commercial or free) available for it?

I got a hint that works from this page

  1. At the right side bar, make it thumb-nail view, and select all pages. (command-A)
  2. Select the area with select tool.
  3. Do the crop (Command-K)

Haven't tested yet, but if that works, sick. – hobs May 25 '11 at 1:42

Useful hints to go along with this: (1) Right click in the thumbnail view and select columns -> 2 to display 2 columns of thumbnails. This allows you to easily select all the even or odd pages, which can be useful if you need to crop them differently. (2) Open the ruler tab of the inspector to see details on what you are cropping. – nathang May 25 '11 at 2:28
