Greetings,


Did you try searching for this?
- http://lmgtfy.com/?q=latex+pdf+margins+orgmode

To be fair, Orgmode has a default LaTeX article class, so you'd really
want to be searching for how to change LaTeX margins. Find the option
you want and put that into your Org document with #+latex_header:
\blah{blah}. This is a good reference:
- http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Page_Layout

This just recently came up on the mailing list (found via the google
search above):
- http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2014-04/msg00967.html


Hope that helps,
John
