I think you are out of luck, unless the door is SOLID vinyl. Most of the ones I have seen are extruded (aka hollow) vinyl which is ultrasonically welded to make the frame, trimming will seriously weaken the door. I would contact the manufacturer of the door to see if it can be trimmed. If it can be, then you will need to find someone with suitable equipment to get a smooth finish, and while I could easily trim the door, I do not know how to get a smooth finish on vinyl.
