Increasing Margins on PDF

[MillMaster]

Is there a way that I can increase the margin on a PDF that is already distilled? I have a PDF that is mostly text, and has a very small margin. This would be ok if I was binding the document, but I want to put it in a 3-ring binder. My printer adds a small margin but punches holes right through the text. Is there an easy way to fix this?

enfocus pistop is the only method I can think of at the moment.

It's possible to scale a PDF in the print set-up. If you can scale to say 95%, then you will get wider margins.

I have tried scaling, but it does not center the pdf on the page, it puts it to the left, and make the punches even worse. I thought "auto-rotate and center" would put the pdf at the center of the page, but it does not.

Could you rotate the image through 180 degrees first? You can even do this in the Reader - I just checked (but it took two steps each of 90 degrees). Then at least the wider margin would be on the side to be hole-punched.

I'm on a Mac machine so I don't know if this will help.

On my Page Setup window, I have, at the top, a Settings menu with a drop down that includes custom paper size - with custom margins. I can set the size to, say 8.5 X 11, and then change any margin. Then Save that size, lets say namend 'custom"

Then in My print dialogue, I pick custom at the paper size and "scale to fit".

You can do it on a PC too.
