I scanned a document with xsane and saved it as a pdf, the pdf shows up great but there is extra white space at the bottom of the document. how do i get rid of the white space and make the document the actual real legal size?
See if the following works for you:
In xsane, choose Window > Show Preview (enable)
Within the preview window (below the preview image area), you can choose paper size from a list. A useful reference:

As a KDE user, I tend to use Kooka for scanning, and my Epson MFC utilises iscan (for Epson scanners) from Avasys.
Thanks, that worked!
