How can I start pagenumbers, where the first section occurs in LaTex?
LatexLatex Problem Overview
This question is related to the post about having abstract at the titlepage. I want to reset the page numbering at the given section.
Latex Solutions
Solution 1 - Latex
You can also reset page number counter:
\setcounter{page}{1}
However, with this technique you get wrong page numbers in Acrobat in the top left page numbers field:
\maketitle: 1
\tableofcontents: 2
\setcounter{page}{1}
\section{Introduction}: 1
...
Solution 2 - Latex
I use
\pagenumbering{roman}
for everything in the frontmatter and then switch over to
\pagenumbering{arabic}
for the actual content. With pdftex, the page numbers come out right in the PDF file.
Solution 3 - Latex
To suppress the page number on the first page, add \thispagestyle{empty}
after the \maketitle
command.
The second page of the document will then be numbered "2". If you want this page to be numbered "1", you can add \pagenumbering{arabic}
after the \clearpage
command, and this will reset the page number.
Here's a complete minimal example:
\documentclass[notitlepage]{article}
\title{My Report}
\author{My Name}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\thispagestyle{empty}
\begin{abstract}
\ldots
\end{abstract}
\clearpage
\pagenumbering{arabic}
\section{First Section}
\ldots
\end{document}
