Way to keep header footer distance same for first page, smaller after that? [duplicate]

Question

Is there a way in which i can keep the original header/footer size for the first page, then use smaller margins from the second page then on in?

Answer 1

Your best bet will be to use the \newgeometry command from the geometry package.

\newgeometry allows you to change page dimensions in the middle of the document.

For details, please see Section 7 Changing layout mid-document of the package documentation.

Here is the code with the above idea.

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[left=30.0mm,right=30.0mm,top=30.0mm,bottom=30.0mm]{geometry}

\usepackage{lipsum}


\begin{document}

% First page with wider margins

\lipsum[1-7]

\clearpage

% Later pages with narrower margins

\newgeometry{left=10.0mm,right=10.0mm,top=10.0mm,bottom=10.0mm}

\lipsum[11-20]

\end{document}
