I have written a document in A4 setting and now I am trying to convert it into 6x9 inches. I have gone through classicthesis-config.tex and classicthesis.sty

% A5
        \ifthenelse{\boolean{@minionpro}}%
        {% Minion gets some extra sizes     
            \PackageInfo{classicthesis}{A5 paper, MinionPro}%
            \areaset[current]{310pt}{600pt}%
            \setlength{\marginparwidth}{3em}%
            \setlength{\marginparsep}{1.25em}%
        }{% Palatino or other
            \PackageInfo{classicthesis}{A5 paper, Palatino or other}%
            \areaset[current]{310pt}{600pt}%
            \setlength{\marginparwidth}{3em}%
            \setlength{\marginparsep}{1.25em}%
        }%

But this is not reducing the area between footer page numbers and text.

enter image description here

How can I adjust this space between to save area.

  • 1) you're using an old version of classicthesis 2) see all those ifthenelse? they only work if you're using a few standard paper sizes 3) you could simply use the three areaset and setlength commands just after you load classicthesis.sty with whichever numbers you need Oct 9, 2020 at 1:31
  • 1. I got my version from here. Please suggest the new version. 2. Yes I am aware of that, that's why I had to manually configure the classicthesis-config.tex file. 3. I did used the areaset, as mentioned above, but I am not able to decrease the gap between page number and text block.

  • 1) newest version here bitbucket.org/amiede/classicthesis 2) 3) how is your paper size set in documentclass? I don't know how to reproduce what you're doing. Oct 9, 2020 at 17:08
  • I think this is what you need \setlength{\footskip}{10pt}. And to learn more about how the page is constructed, refer to koma-script documentation here ctan.org/pkg/koma-script Oct 9, 2020 at 17:39

    Thank you very much, setting that worked. Can you please write that in the answer so I can mark it solved? And I used geometry on a5paper. Also I updated to v4.6 now.

The distance between text area and the page footer can be controlled by \footskip, as in \setlength{\footskip}{10pt}. Classicthesis uses koma-script package areaset with options headinclude, footinclude to set the text area size, so koma-script documentation is the place to go for more details.
