As you know, latex documents often have quite a substantial amount of page margin. I don't like that.

The printing dialog offers the option to print the document scaled up (let's say 120%), but then the whole document is moved towards the bottom-right corner.

How to center such enlarged pdf? I'd prefer a solution that does not involve preprocessing of the pdf in any way, because it is just one more step (and I am already doing it with pdfjam - looking for a better way).

  • Hmmm....Are latex documents and pdf documents the same thing?

  • A latex document is preprocessed to pdf. You cannot modify it after that.

  • Hmmm....if you have the pdf, aren't there tools out there to possibly make the modifications you desire?

    If you are creating the PDF from LaTeX yourself, then modify the LaTeX document, not the PDF (just stating the obvious).

Calibre's ebook-viewer allows you to set margins when printing a PDF.
However it is extremely slow on some of the PDFs I have (IIRC the PDF files with scanned images that I have not yet converted to DjVu).
