I'm using the bioinfo.cls for my paper and the margins are just too wide. The sample pdf file the publication provided doesn't seem to have this problem(named Sample.pdf; the complete template can be found here: https://academic.oup.com/DocumentLibrary/Bioinformatics/cabios-template.zip). However, when I try to compile the main.tex file, I get margins that are too wide. I tried using the using the geometry package, but the margins are even worse with it.

All the files are accessible at this Sharelatex project: https://www.sharelatex.com/project/5887a3ff3cc6276117061161

Thanks!

    normal advice is not to mess with settings of publisher provided classes.

  • Perhaps I should have been clearer. I was wondering why the margins are wider when I compile the .tex file as opposed to the publisher provided sample.pdf (of what the complied file should look like), which seems to have different margin width.

    Is the page size definitely the same? (it is size of text block that matters, not the margins)

A publisher's class will set the text block for a size suitable for their final journal production, as such the margins when printed on standard A4 or US Letter sized paper are essentially arbitrary.

In bioinfo.cls, replace line

\ExecuteOptions{b4paper,nocrop,centre,info}

with

\ExecuteOptions{a4paper,nocrop,centre,info}
