[Tex/LaTex] How to set bottom margin using the resume class with [margin,line]

cvmarginsresume

I really like the way my resume looks using the following preamble:

\documentclass[line,margin]{resume}

\begin{document}

\topmargin=-0.5in

However, I have a huge margin at the bottom of the page. I tried using the geometry package along with margin=0.5in, but I get an error, unless I remove “margin" from the document class declaration. However, removing it fundamentally changes the way the document looks. I'd rather keep the document looking the same (and hopefully, not having to recreate it using a different document class) as it does now, and just fix the bottom margin.

Is there a way of using the above declarations and making the bottom margin smaller?

Have you tried using the geometry package?

A simple way to configure your margins with the package:

\usepackage[bottom=0.5in]{geometry}

You can set the top, right and left margins independently using comma-separted keyvals:

\usepackage[bottom=0.5in,top=0.8in]{geometry}

or even a single one for all the margins if you want to modify them:

\usepackage[margin=0.5in]{geometry}
