I print out a lot of pdf articles, and I'd like to use less paper by printing 2 pages per side. But due to the large margins—both from the original pdf file and added by the printing process—the text is very small when I print 2 pages per side. Is there an automated way to strip out the margins from pdf files, and convert the document to another pdf file that has 2 pages from the old document per page of the new document, with minimal margins?
Thanks.
EDIT: I may have a solution— pdfjam contains the script "psfnup". It puts two pages per side in a new pdf file. I can crop the files somewhat automatically with Briss. Maybe a two-step solution is as simple as it gets?

pdfjam does nup-imposition and gives you the complete power of pdfpages; I'm sure you can trim the pages while imposing them. It needs a working TeX-installation, though.
