You can set the margins by issuing an OPTIONS statement BEFORE the ODS statement, like the following:

   options topmargin=1 leftmargin=0.75 rightmargin=0.75;

The following alternative method uses PROC TEMPLATE:

  proc template;
     define style styles.mystyle;
      parent=styles.printer;   
       replace body from document /
          leftmargin = 0.75in
          rightmargin= 0.75in
            topmargin= 1.0in
         bottommargin=_undef_
        pagebreakhtml=html("pagebreakline");
     end;
   run;
  ods pdf file="my-file.pdf" style=styles.mystyle ;

Note that in SAS 9.2, if both PROC TEMPLATE and an OPTIONS statement are used to change the margins, the larger value will take precedence.
