I print stuff, but I don't like wasting paper or ink. Research papers in PDF tend to be formatted for use in a journal. Chapters in PDF tend to be formated to use in a book. All have extra marginal whitespace. I found out today that OS X's 
Preview application can crop all selected pages at once. The steps are:
- Choose the View menu's Thumbnails. 
- Select all the pages in the sidebar. 
- Choose the Tools menu's Rectangular Selection item. 
- Select the rectangular region you want to keep. 
- Choose the Tools menu's Crop. 
Done.
