Latex - Change margins of only a few pages

Viewed 217535

I have a Latex document where I need to change the margins of only a few pages (the pages where I'm adding a lot of graphics).

In particular, I'd like to change the top margins (\voffset). I've tried doing:

\addtolength{\voffset}{-4cm}

% Insert images here

\addtolength{\voffset}{4cm}

but it didn't work. I've seen references to the geometry package, but I haven't found how to use it for a bunch of pages, and not for the whole document.

Any hints?

This worked for me:

\newpage % larger page1
\enlargethispage{1.5cm} % more room for text or floats
\advance\voffset by -0.5cm % reduce top margin
\advance\footskip by 1cm % lower page number
    
Some content

\newpage % larger page2
\enlargethispage{1.5cm}
    
Some content

...

\newpage % return to normal page
\advance\voffset by 0.5cm
\advance\footskip by -1cm
