No, I have a PDF that is used for offset printing and thus has the margins 
that will later be cut away. In particular, it's an A5 journal, but the PDF 
is in A4.
If you print that document on a laser printer, you'll also get those margins, 
which are simply wasted space. You can't print that document as a brochure in 
KDE unless you manage to cut away the margins before printing.

Attached is one page from such a document to make it clear what I mean.

Cheer,
Reinhold
