it’s a bug, after [this line](https://github.com/openemr/openemr/blob/a212cf0f12ae478e8b4a2fe082cbf8c4572d820e/interface/patient_file/report/custom_report.php#L59) in the custom\_report script, insert these 4 lines

```auto
    $config_mpdf['margin_top'] = $config_mpdf['margin_top'] * 1.5;                                                                                                                                         
    $config_mpdf['margin_bottom'] = $config_mpdf['margin_bottom'] * 1.5;                                                                                                                                   
    $config_mpdf['margin_header'] = $GLOBALS['pdf_top_margin'];                                                                                                                                            
    $config_mpdf['margin_footer'] = $GLOBALS['pdf_bottom_margin'];  

```

will get this added to the next patch
