How do you draw borders for pages in Latex? Thanks in advance.

There are probably better ways, but the fancybox package provides a way to do this. In the document preamble, go:

\usepackage{fancybox}

and then once you get into the document proper, go:

\fancypage{\fbox}{}

This needs to be one of the first things after the \begin{document}.

As I said, there are probably better ways, but that's the first one which comes to mind.

The above method works, but there is a problem. The box is too close to the text. Is there some way to have a gap between the box and the text.
I think you would have an answer.
Thank you.

Try

\fancypage{\setlength{\fboxsep}{32pt}\fbox}{}

Change the ``32pt'' to suit.
