Border around complete Page with Division in Header

Post by Heisenberg »

Hello friends,

I am new to the forum and have some problem about page bordering. I am also new to LaTeX but I love it. I am trying to have the attached page layout for every page. I know that I will use fancy headers, box package but could not manage to have it. Please see the attachment.

I really appreciate your help.


thanks
Heisenberg

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

Welcome to the LaTeX community!

Have a look at the geometry package. It allows detailed customization of the page layout.

Hello Heisenberg,

welcome to the board!

I guess your point here is drawing lines and boxes at absolute positions of the pages. That's not hard with TikZ, drawing referring to the current page node.

An example: Exam sheet with TikZ.

If I would get some time next days, I would set up a specific example, perhaps have a look if TikZ would be an option.

Clemens' advice with geometry is also meaningful, because it provides the text and margins layout, but for drawing frames and lines you would need further packages.

The header can be done by fancyhdr or titleps with a table as basic structure. A complete page can be framed by the fancybox package.


Best regards and welcome to the board
