Removing white margins
To reuse the PDF output of your LaTeX document in another document, in an e-book, or on a website, it's usually a good idea to remove the margins, or at least to make them smaller.
Getting ready

The
pdfcropscript
Fortunately, TeX Live installs internal versions of Ghostscript and Perl by default, and offers the pdfcrop script as a package; so, TeX Live users are lucky. If you don't use TeX Live, you may need to install the software. You can find more information at http://www.ghostscript.com, http://www.perl.org and http://ctan.org/pkg/pdfcrop.
