Is it possible to move the footer on the second page in scrlttr2 a bit down? The bottom margin in the screenshot (red line) seems very high.

The document looks much better when I switch of footsepline but I would like to use it.

Here is a MWE:

\documentclass[headsepline, footsepline, enlargefirstpage, firstfoot=false]{scrlttr2}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage{blindtext}
%\pagestyle{headings}   % not necessary for this MWE
\setkomavar{fromname}{It is me}
\setkomavar{subject}{Subject}
\begin{document}
\begin{letter}{xxx}
\opening{Hello,}
\Blindtext
\end{letter}
\end{document}

  • @AlessandroCuttin Unfortunately, not. When I switch on footsepline the margin is much bigger than without the line in the footer. In your link footsepline is not active.

  • @Sveinung Where do I use the old package? I know the change and LaTeX throws warnings when using the old one. Ah, I see, you mean the pagestyle. I can remove this line for clarification.

  • You are not using the footexclude option, which reduces (a little bit) the height of the footer.

Option footsepline sets automatically option footinclude=true. So maybe it is enough to add footinclude=false after footsepline. 

\documentclass[headsepline, footsepline, enlargefirstpage, firstfoot=false,
  footinclude=false% <- added
]{scrlttr2}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage{blindtext}
%\pagestyle{headings}   % not necessary for this MWE
\setkomavar{fromname}{It is me}
\setkomavar{subject}{Subject}
\begin{document}
\begin{letter}{xxx}
\opening{Hello,}
\Blindtext
\end{letter}
\end{document}

Maybe you should remove option enlargefirstpage (see the comment of @Sveinung):

\documentclass[headsepline, footsepline, 
  %enlargefirstpage,% <- remove this
  firstfoot=false,
  footinclude=false% <- added
]{scrlttr2}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage{blindtext}
%\pagestyle{headings}   % not necessary for this MWE
\setkomavar{fromname}{It is me}
\setkomavar{subject}{Subject}
\begin{document}
\begin{letter}{xxx}
\opening{Hello,}
\Blindtext
\end{letter}
\end{document}

  • Is footinclude=false equivalent to footexclude?

    @AlessandroCuttin footexclude is an obsolete option. There would be a warning this option would be replaced by footinclude=false,version=first,enabledeprecatedfontcommands and this will result in an additional warning. So it is really better to use footinclude=false. See also the KOMA-Script documentation.

    @esdd First page looks awful. Too much text at the bottom of the page :)

    @Sveinung You are right. The OP should remove option enlargefirstpage.
