Re: [O] extra whitespace on first page of LaTeX PDF

Have you tried using \newpage instead of \clearpage?

When I want a page break after the TOC, I'll usually just drop a \newpage in 
just before the first heading like this:

    #+ORG_EXPORT_SETTINGS...
    \newpage
    * First Heading
    ** A Subhead

This seems to work satisfactorily. My understanding is that \newpage is what 
you use for regular pagebreaks, while \clearpage is for ending a chapter 
because it flushes out floating elements. This discussion on 
tex.stackexchange.com /may/ be helpful:

Hope this helps!
