Header and footer with no margins in template

[Seba-Vargas]

Hi everyone! First, i want to thank you for the post "R Markdown Template for Business Reports", it's really helping me with my reports. Now, i have a question that maybe you can help me. I been trying to put header and footers with no margins in my reports, but with no success. I'm currently using your template (defs.tex) and Rmd code and playing with both of them. I'm adding the PDF i generate and the header i'm trying to use. Untitled.pdf Thanks a lot! :)

Hi @Seba-Vargas, is this what you're looking for?

Here's the defs.tex to create a no margin header with your provided image. In line 13 I set top to 0 cm and headsep to 4 cm. And in line 97 I made the header image full width, so to say. I hope this helps.
