I want to remove some vertical spacing in my page. Actually, the page is formatted automatically through this command:

\documentclass[12pt,twoside]{report}
\begin{document} 
\chapter{Conclusions}
\input{tex/08_conclusion.tex}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%%              APPENDIX             %%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%


%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%%             REFERENCES            %%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\pagebreak
\addtotoc{Bibliography}
\printbibliography


\end{document}

Top of the page: enter image description here

The output is shown in this way: enter image description here

  • Did you try addìng the \raggedbottom directive in your preamble (the default is \flushbottom)? – Bernard Apr 01 '21 at 13:03
  • do you have some large object (a tabular or a graphic) following this text that can 't float? – Ulrike Fischer Apr 01 '21 at 13:06
  • @Bernard Thanks this resolves the problem ! – Anouar Apr 01 '21 at 13:08
  • @UlrikeFischer Thanks for your answer, no I don't have any graphic and with using \raggedbottom, the problem is resolved ! – Anouar Apr 01 '21 at 13:09
  • You must have something at the top of the next page. – David Carlisle Apr 01 '21 at 13:13
  • But you must do something to force latex to stretch the text like this, you should better find out what, as raggedbottom gives pages of different height. – Ulrike Fischer Apr 01 '21 at 13:14
  • @UlrikeFischer I have only the chapter name in big caracters, I updated the question, please take a look at the new image – Anouar Apr 01 '21 at 13:20
  • no, what do you have on the next page is what matters. You can't have the start of chapter 8 there, your current page already shows chapter 8 in the header. – Ulrike Fischer Apr 01 '21 at 13:23
  • now I understand you, I think because there is a \pagebreak after this chapter, I updated the command for you, so please take a look – Anouar Apr 01 '21 at 13:31
  • Where have you seen that \pagebreak would be a good command to use? Genuine question, there might be some online documentation that needs a friendly update request. – daleif Apr 01 '21 at 14:28
  • @daleif It was already inputted in the template that I am using, this is my first work with Latex, that's why I am asking – Anouar Apr 01 '21 at 14:40
  • Then the whoever made that template owes you a beer (or similar). That macro should be used with extreme care. Normally the macro to use is \newpage which does not stretch. The again, why are you even changing the page here? – daleif Apr 01 '21 at 14:42
  • @daleif thank you, this resolves the problem completly and also "\raggedbottom" is not needed, the change of the page because the next page should be written in a new chapter (new page), I didn't only understand why the author of this template use \pagebreak instead of \newpage only in the last switch between the chapters, specifically between the chapter "Conclusion" and the chapter "Bibliography" – Anouar Apr 01 '21 at 15:11
  • Unless you've done something, \chapter and \chapter* automatically starts a new page. – daleif Apr 01 '21 at 15:14
  • @daleif ah OK, that's why in all the chapter, nothing is used, tjhe jumping to the new page was performed by default, only between the last two chapters, \pagebreak is used – Anouar Apr 01 '21 at 15:19
