I've never found a direct way.  I do it two ways:

1.	Since I run on old hardware, some boxes are able to have a
	larger virtual screen than the pysical screen.  To shrink the
	margins and have larger text, just enlarge the xpdf window
	beyond the size of the physical screen (with xpdf set to fit to
	width).

2.	Just set the zoom factor so that the margins are outside the
	window.


If you mean that you want to change the margins for printing, I'm not
sure that you can.  Pdf is a subset of ps which describes the page as
the author intended it.  It is not a "source" language designed to be
altered.  That said, ps really is a programming language so there may be
a tool to change margins in the pdf file itself, or you could print the
pdf to ps and use tools to change that (or dive into the ps language and
do it yourself). 

I hope this helps.
