The simple way is to open it in something that can print to PDF (like
KPDF), and do a print-to-pdf and change the paper size.

However, this just scales each page to fit.  If you want to
re-paginate the PDF, there is no clean way that I know of.  You
basically have to do something like pdf2html to get the content out,
and then use something like openoffice/koffice to format it like you
want.

Maybe others will have a better idea...
