Changing the paper size to legal

Post by templateuser »

Hi,

Let me start saying that I love the template, I’m really new using latex and it has been a big help for me.

Anyway I’m having some issues trying to change the paper size without success, so I finally ended setting this: \usepackage[legalpaper]{geometry} before \begin{document} and it worked, but the \graffito{} is kind of messed up, seems like its defined in a length bigger than the new margin caused by the change of paper size.

I really like the default margin length so I was wondering if there is away to set the paper size as legal without messing the margins?

Regards,
Rodrigo.

Hi Rodrigo,

Thanks! Glad the template is of use, it’s one of my favorites on the site.

Perhaps I am missing something here but have you tried changing paper=a4 in the \documentclass[] definition to paper=legal? I tried this and it seemed to adjust the paper size while keeping the right margin the same size.

Hi Vel,

Thanks for the fast reply. It worked!, I’m so embarrassed I was trying paper=legalpaper and others names, never thought about just legal :3

I really appreciate your help, Thanks ;D

Cheers,
Rodrigo
