Text Formatting ⇒ Pagenumbering in textblock

[hirscsil]

Dear Members

As this is my first post in this forum, I don't know if I post it in the correct category. So if not, I'm sorry

Right now I'm writing summaries for the final exams in latex, and since I have three columns and almost no margin, I can't and don't want to use headers or footers.
Because of that I wanted to print the pagenumber in a textblock which works actually quite nice. But the problem is, that the page always starts at page 2 with number one, but of course in the table of content the fist page is actually the one where also the table of content is contained.

I tried many things like putting

Code: Select all

\setcounter{page}{1}

on different places but it still didn't work.

This is the code I use right now (shortened). I include my single chapters with the

Code: Select all

\input{document}

command, but the error is also visible with the blinddocument.

What i actually want: starting the pagenumbering at the very first page, that the pagenumbers in the table of content are consistant with the pages containing the section.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[landscape,a4paper,fontsize=8pt]{scrartcl}
\usepackage[dvipsnames]{xcolor}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}

\usepackage{amsmath,color}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{helvet}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage{blindtext}

% To generate the box with the pagenumter
\usepackage{atbegshi}
\usepackage[absolute,overlay]{textpos}


\usepackage[a4paper, left=0.5cm, right=0.5cm, top=0.3cm, bottom=0.3cm]{geometry}
\usepackage{flowfram}


% Three columns
\Ncolumninarea{3}{\textwidth}{\textheight}{0pt}{0pt}
\insertvrule{flow}{1}{flow}{2}
\insertvrule{flow}{2}{flow}{3}


% Generate the textblock with the pagenumber
\TPGrid{8}{11}
\AtBeginShipout{
	\begin{textblock}{3}(7.85,10.7)
		\footnotesize
		\texttt{\colorbox{Salmon}{\textbf{\thepage}}}
	\end{textblock}%
}

\begin{document}
	
	\fontsize{8pt}{3pt}\selectfont
	\begin{center}
		\noindent
		{\scshape\Large Topic  \\}
		{\scshape\large Name, Class  \\}
	\end{center}

	\tableofcontents
	
	%\input{doc1}
	%\input{doc2}
	%\input{doc3}
	
	\Blinddocument
	
\end{document}

Kind regards and thank you in advance

Hi hirscsil,

welcome to the forum!

Quick fix:

Code: Select all

\AtBeginShipout{%
  \begin{textblock}{3}(7.85,10.7)%
    \footnotesize\stepcounter{page}%
    \texttt{\colorbox{Salmon}{\textbf{\thepage}}}%
    \addtocounter{page}{-1}%
  \end{textblock}%
}

I guess at "begin shipout time" the page counter was not yet incremented.
