I have to submit documents for a grant application in Times New Roman 12 point font with margins of 3/4".  Is it trivial to specify these values for the text in a pdf output?  Also, is it ever possible to omit author, title, and date lines in a pdf?  doing so is an absolute requirement of the granting agency.    If need be I will simply make these modifications post facto in openoffice, but a direct org export would be much neater. 

thanks as always,

Aloha Matt,

You could use org-article.cls.  Check out the following options: [koma,DIV=XX,times,12pt], where DIV would take a value that yields the correct margin on the paper size you are using.

Instructions on how to fashion an alternative title are here:

If org-article.cls isn't to your liking, then you should be able to see in its documentation the bits and pieces you'd need to configure the LaTeX exporter to your satisfaction.

hth,

Tom
