Page Layout

I use a PDF file as an image for the cover.
Unfortunately, the margins also affects the cover as well.
Is there any way to make the margins not applied to the cover?

Use the pdfpages package.

Yes, I already did that.
At the bottom, the margin is still visible.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper, 11pt]{article}
\usepackage[margin=1in]{geometry}
\usepackage{pdfpages}

\begin{document}
\includepdf{cover.pdf}
\end{document}

Just in case someone's wondering, the cover.pdf is an image file stretched manually in MS Word, than exported to PDF.

You just have to prepare the cover more carefully to make it fit to the whole page. The margin is not a result of the compilation process.
