Page Layout ⇒ Showframe for all pages

[php1ic]

I have just discovered the showframe option for the geometry package, but can't workout how to get the frame on every page of my document and not just the first page.

The code below highlights the problem, does anybody know how I get the frame on all pages?

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,11pt]{report}

\usepackage[a4paper,showframe,
top    = 2.75cm,
bottom = 2.50cm,
left   = 3.00cm,
right  = 2.50cm]{geometry}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage[math]{blindtext}

\begin{document}

\chapter{Start}
\blindtext

\section{One}
\blindtext

\section{Two}
\blindtext

\section{Three}
\blindtext

\section{Four}
\blindtext

\end{document}

Thanks.

Hi,

using your code I got the frame in both pages; I even did a test with a 14-page document and got 14 framed pages. Do you get something different with the following code?

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,11pt]{report}

\usepackage[a4paper,showframe,
top    = 2.75cm,
bottom = 2.50cm,
left   = 3.00cm,
right  = 2.50cm]{geometry}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage[math]{blindtext}

\begin{document}

\Blinddocument

\end{document}

I still only get a frame on the first page. My version of linux and latex is quite old. Could it be due to older versions of the packages?

I added \listfiles to your code, below is the output I get

Your idea is right.
The feature that showframes shows up on all pages was added in one of the later versions of geometry (5 I thought).
Updating that package should solve the problem.

I've just 'built' the newest version of geometry.sty file from CTAN and now I have a frame on every page.

Thanks for all you responses.
