I used 'pdfinfo' on the generated PDF file and saw (among other output) this: Page size: 612 x 792 pts (letter) So, I guess I need to explicitly change the L/R and top/bottom margins. Here's what I do using emacs/latex without Org: \setlength{\textheight}{9.25in} \setlength{\textwidth}{6.75in} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{0in} \setlength{\evensidemargin}{0in} \setlength{\topmargin}{-0.6in} Can I just put the above somewhere near the beginning of my .org file? Or, is there a "better" way? ;-) Sorry if dumb questions, but am trying to figure out the org/latex approach ... Thanks for the 'pdfinfo' tip ... -Kenneth
