How to get rid of whitespace (non-political)

Something fantastic has happened and I need to bring it to your attention.

I get so annoyed trying to read pdfs that have lots of space around the text. 

Maybe you feel the same.

Zooming in and out every page is such a faff. 

Well, it turns out you can crop pdfs really easily using the mac pdf viewer! 

Just select the appropriate rectangle (tools>>rectangular selection),

then enable thumbnail view (view>>thumbnails),

select all (cmnd-a) and finally

press cmnd-k.



I'm so happy right now.
