Default latex tends to look like that, so you'd be better off viewing the
document properties from your viewer to verify.

If it's a4, I set mine when I installed latex via texlive, but you can set
it via your org doc:
-http://en.m.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Page_Layout

There's been some other posts on the ML about making PDF export look
better. Example:
- http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/85428

That has my setup a few posts in which I'm pretty happy with.
