Modify the left and right margins of pdf exports?

[Angela Tran]

I was able to get my header and footer the way I wanted for the most part. I can't get the left and right margins to be the same. In my stylesheet, I tried: 

margin-left: 1.27cm;
margin-right: 1.27cm;

but that did not work. Any ideas on how to get these margins the same?

@page
{
margin-top: 30px;
margin-bottom: 70px;
margin-left: 1.27cm;
margin-right: 1.27cm;

@top-left
{
content: "Company Name.";
font-family: ConfluenceInstalledFont, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
color:#ffffff; 
font-size: 10pt;
font-weight:bold;
background-color:#5EBD70;
padding-left:50px;
}
@top-right
{
content: "Engineering Docs";
font-family: ConfluenceInstalledFont, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
color:#ffffff; 
font-size: 10pt;
font-weight:bold;
background-color:#5EBD70;
padding-right:50px;
}
@bottom-right
{
content:counter(page);
font-family: ConfluenceInstalledFont, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 10pt;
background-image:url('/download/attachments/25528928/grn_on_wht2_thumb.png?api=v2/20x20');
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position:left center;
}
}

What do you want to make the left and right match?  You're on the right track.  Set margin-left and margin-right values to adjust how much margin you want on the page.

Yes, I would like the left and right to match. Hmm, I did do that but setting those doesn't seem to be doing anything.

try setting them to something very large and see if it's making any difference for you:

margin-left: 500px;
