Abstract needs to be 1-A4 page

[Cotsios90]

Hello guys,

I need to have 1 page of Abstract and have already written 1 page + 2 lines. I would like to shift the whole text a few centimetres upwards so it fits in 1 A4 page. Can you help me with this?

Thank you, C

You can try \enlargethispage{3\baselineskip} to get a bit more space at the bottom. Moving the title up would be more inconsistent.

Drastic alternative: use \vspace{-2\baselineskip} right after \begin{abstract}

Alternative drastic method: do not use the abstract environment and just use:

\clearpage% or \cleardoublepage 
\begin{center}\Large\bfseries
    Abstract
\end{center}
\thispagestyle{empty}
This is where you write your abstract ...

Thank you very much johannesbottcher. It helped a lot, I used \end{abstract} \enlargethispage{3\baselineskip}

If someone else has the same issue in the future, this can be tried as well:

\newgeometry{top = 32mm, bottom= 30mm, left= 31mm, right= 27mm} \begin{abstract} ... ... \end{abstract} \restoregeometry
