Hi,
I'm doing my first paper in Org and outputting it to PDF. So far, it's
been pretty easy and the results look quite good. The one issue that
I'm wondering about is "page setup". The output looks like it was done
with ~2.5" margins all around which means that, on an 8.5"x11" paper,
almost 5" is wasted.
How do I control the page margins that Org uses in its Latex/PDF output?

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

For when we can't just use A4:

hmargin=0.5in, vmargin=0.5in]{geometry}

I also just started a new doc today and wanted reduce the margins.
Normally I set all the various margin-related distances which I can
never seem to remember and have to go search for. This time the search
turned up a nice one-liner:
#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{fullpage}
I might even be able to remember this one next time.
Cheers,
-Brett.
