Margins for two-sided print

Post by karko »

Hi,

Is there a way to set up different margins for specific pages? I have left margin set to 3.5 cm. But when I will print my article as two-sided, the text will be located differently. Basically I need to have different margin for odd and even pages. Any help?

Recommended reading 2024:

LaTeXguide.org • LaTeX-Cookbook.net • TikZ.org

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Check out the lengths \oddsidemargin and \evensidemargin and the "twoside" and "openright" options to the document class. Note that the book class expects two-sided printing by default, so use that instead of report.

Resolution:
Document->Settings->Page Layout, check "Two-sided document".

My PDF now has correct margins :). Thanks for your effort.
