I'm writing a technical report, the instuction says the margin should
be top=1.75cm, left=right=bottom=2.54cm, no header or footer should be
used. So I set like this:
\documentclass[11pt,letterpaper]{article}
\usepackage{times}
\usepackage[dvips]{graphicx,color,psfrag}
\usepackage[left=2.54cm, right=2.54cm, top=1.75cm, bottom=2.54cm]{geometry}
\pagestyle{empty}
However, after the pdf was generated, the bottom margin is almost 5cm
(the other margin looks correct), anyone has some idea about what'

you sure when you generate pdf, you choose letter as paper size?

I'm sure, there must be some other problems.

Check it again. Using the same LaTeX you posted, I get
1.5 inch bottom margin on US letter paper, but about 5.5 cm
bottom margin on A4 paper. Check both the PS file and PDF
file to find out where things went wrong.
If you are not using page footers (I see you are using the
empty page style), you should add \setlength{\footskip}{0pt}
before \usepackage{geometry} to get the bottom margin
closer to 1 in.
