When using
render_book("index.Rmd", "bookdown::pdf_book")
it looks like a line setting the margins is inserted in the tex file
\usepackage[margin=1in]{geometry}
The bookdown-demo repro can be used to reproduce this.
In index.Rmd, I'm using
---
date: "`r Sys.Date()`"
knit: "bookdown::render_book"
documentclass: krantz
classoption: numberinsequence,krantz1
bibliography: [book.bib]
biblio-style: apalike
link-citations: yes
colorlinks: yes
---
and this is goofing up the margins set by that style file. I know that I can modify the geometry options but can I just avoid this line being generated?
Thanks

documentclass: krantz indicates that you are writing a book for Chapman & Hall, and I have provided a starter repo bookdown-crc for such authors who use bookdown (the bookdown-demo repo is not the best option for you). Your issue does not exist in this repo because I set template: null for pdf_book in _output.yml. The reason for this is that I wanted to use Pandoc's default template, which does not add the default margin=1in to the geometry option in YAML (and rmarkdown does -- that is the culprit).
If you do want to use rmarkdown's LaTeX template (which is modified based on Pandoc's), you can set
geometry: false
in the YAML metadata of your index.Rmd.
For your reference, I have a section specifically for Chapman & Hall authors in the bookdown book: https://bookdown.org/yihui/bookdown/publishers.html
