Hi Andrea,

welcome to the forum!

Here is an example using TikZ. It should be compiled 2 or 3 times, since in the first run it checks the page dimensions internally:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{geometry}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{calc}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\begin{document}
\tikz[overlay, remember picture]
  \draw ($(current page.north west) + (2cm,-2cm)$)
        rectangle ($(current page.south east) + (-2cm,2cm)$);
\blindtext[5]
\end{document}
