Is there a way in which i can keep the original header/footer size for the first page, then use smaller margins from the second page then on in?

  • Do you start the second page by explicit page break (\newpage or \clearpage) or it comes naturally? – Masroor Mar 24 '16 at 01:13
  • Does the text flow naturally from the first to the second, or does is there an abrupt break? The latter is far easier to manage than the former. – Werner Mar 24 '16 at 01:14
  • for the second page i use \newpage and then the ones following this i use a mixture @Masroor and @Werner – Sam Harper Mar 24 '16 at 01:15

Your best bet will be to use the \newgeometry command from the geometry package.

\newgeometry allows you to change page dimensions in the middle of the document.

For details, please see Section 7 Changing layout mid-document of the package documentation.

Here is the code with the above idea.

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[left=30.0mm,right=30.0mm,top=30.0mm,bottom=30.0mm]{geometry}

\usepackage{lipsum}


\begin{document}

% First page with wider margins

\lipsum[1-7]

\clearpage

% Later pages with narrower margins

\newgeometry{left=10.0mm,right=10.0mm,top=10.0mm,bottom=10.0mm}

\lipsum[11-20]

\end{document}
