Using different margins for cover/toc/page ?

[Jean-Charles Longuet]

I generate a document with headers and footers on every page, with margin space set with --margin-top /--margin-bottom options. I also want to add a cover without any margin. All the --margin-* options seems however to apply to the full document only, not to specific parts..

1. Is that correct or are there ways to specify different margins for every section ?
   
2. Are there alternatives/hacks to achieve what I want without involving other tools ? I do deal with the left and right margins with specific css, but I could not find a way to deal with top/bottom margins on every page.

For information, I can modify most of the HTML and css files, and I use wkhtmltopdf 0.12.4 (with patched qt) on Windows 7 with the following command :

wkhtmltopdf.exe \

--page-size A4 \

  --dpi 200 \

--margin-top 30mm \

--margin-left 0mm \

--margin-right 0mm \

--margin-bottom 24mm \

--header-html ./my-header.html \

--footer-html ./my-footer.html \

--outline-depth 3 \

cover \

  ./my-cover.html \

toc \

--xsl-style-sheet my-toc.xsl \

   page \

    TOTS.html \

--print-media-type \

my.pdf

The margins are managed by the qt print system, so we cannot change
them on a page to page basis afaik, why not just use another tool to
slap on the front page (pdftk?)

Thanks Jakob. I considered pdftk but this adds another tool in the pipeline, and it is likely to break the outlines and/or links.

Setting all documents margins to zero and adjusting non-cover top and bottom margins through css was not successful either (@page does not seem to work).

I will probably adjust the cover design and colors to deal with margins, unless a clever css trick can save me.

Hello
Have you found the solution to this problem?
I'm in the same situation, I can't get rid of the top and bottom margins for my cover.
