I would like to leave enough margin spaces in the pages to be able to make hand annotations in the PDF file.
The document has twocolumns
and is generated with IEEEtran document class.
For example:
\documentclass[conference]{IEEEtran}
\IEEEoverridecommandlockouts
% The preceding line is only needed to identify funding in the first footnote. If that is unneeded, please comment it out.
\usepackage{cite}
% \usepackage[numbers,sort&compress]{natbib}
\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb,amsfonts}
\usepackage{algorithmic}
% \usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{ifpdf}
\ifCLASSINFOpdf
\usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx}
% declare the path(s) where your graphic files are
% \graphicspath{{../pdf/}{../jpeg/}}
\graphicspath{{./figs/}}
% and their extensions so you won't have to specify these with
% every instance of \includegraphics
\DeclareGraphicsExtensions{.pdf,.jpeg,.png}
\else
% or other class option (dvipsone, dvipdf, if not using dvips). graphicx
% will default to the driver specified in the system graphics.cfg if no
% driver is specified.
\usepackage[dvips]{graphicx}
% declare the path(s) where your graphic files are
% \graphicspath{{../eps/}}
\graphicspath{{./figs/}}
% and their extensions so you won't have to specify these with
% every instance of \includegraphics
\DeclareGraphicsExtensions{.eps}
\fi
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\begin{document}
\begin{abstract}
\blindtext
\end{abstract}
\Blinddocument
\end{document}
will produce a document which the first page is
The text covers most of the page. I would like to keep the twocolumns
structure but to have more space for handwriting annotations.

package. (for example\usepackage[right=4cm, left=4cm,top=1.75cm, bottom=1.75cm]{geometry}
) However, this will make your columns quite small. – leandriis Mar 9 '19 at 12:09
