I'm trying to get my bottom margin to be smaller in a one-page document. I've tried using geometry, but even if I use

\usepackage[noheadfoot=true,left=1in,right=1in,top=1in,bottom=0in]{geometry}

or

\usepackage[noheadfoot=true,left=1in,right=1in,top=1in,bottom=-15in]{geometry}

I still have a huge gap (at least an inch) at the bottom of the page. How do I get this space back so more text can fit on one page?

    How come this minimal document proves you wrong? See this output showing 2 pages, the first of which has text going right to the bottom. Can you provide some evidence in the form of a minimal document that replicates your issue?

  • have you specified the right page size for your physical page (a4paper or usletter)

I don't think that setting the bottom option to a negative length is a good idea. Rather, I'd set bottom=1mm (or some other very small positive length), while also specifying the noheadfoot option and setting \pagestyle{empty}.

enter image description here

The rectangle around the textblock is drawn because the showframe option is set.

\documentclass[letterpaper]{article}
\pagestyle{empty}
\usepackage{lipsum} 
\usepackage[hmargin=1in,top=1in,bottom=1mm,noheadfoot,
            showframe]{geometry}
\begin{document}
\lipsum[1-14] % plenty of filler text
\end{document}
