After a lot of searching on the interwebs I finally found a simple and reliable way to do this seemingly simple task.

• Install pdfjam (this example is for Debian/Ubuntu)
  apt-get install pdfjam
• Resize PDF page (insert your own filenames)
  pdfjoin infilename.pdf --paper letterpaper --fitpaper false --outfile outfilename.pdf

Writeup source files can be used to automatically create pdfs using the very useful tool: wkhtmltopdf
This can be installed in a Debian-based system (such as Ubuntu) with:
sudo apt-get install wkhtmltopdf
It is now possible to convert a writeup file to a pdf in two automated steps:
writeup myfile
wkhtmltopdf -s Letter -L 20 -R 20 -T 15 --zoom 1.2 myfile.html myfile.pdf

Options:

• -s Letter - paper size
• -L 20 - Left margin 20mm (ditto for R T and B)
