[vox-tech] printing 4 pages per single page

I recently discovered psnup, which allows me to print 4 pages of postscript
to 1 page of text.
The text is sometimes hard to read because it's so small. psnup has a scale
factor (which I can't figure out: it appears that a scale factor of .5 means
"normal scale"???). However, if I scale too much, the postscript pages on a
physical page begin to "overlap".
What I'd really like is some utility that allows me to cut the margins of a
pdf or ps file. This would allow me to use a larger scale factor and not
have the pages overlap each other.
I'm thinking something like gimp's crop tool. Its "autoshrink" option,
which auto-crops to a box that *just barely* surrounds the content, would
be ideal. Of course, I can't use gimp on a 100 page postscript document,
but this is what I'd like to do.
Are there any utilities out there that would:
1. crop blank margins of a ps or pdf file
2. crop margin dimensions specified by me (not ideal, but I could take
out a ruler and measure the margins myself).
Thanks
Pete
