Page Layout ⇒ Putting a custom footer on the first page of an article

[tcadena411]

Below is the shell of my LaTeX program. I want to put a custom footer on the first page that is exactly like the custom footer on all of my other pages(see the \cfoot command below). The \thispagestyle{empty} command after the \maketitle was put there just to get rid of the automatic page number for the first page.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Hi,

the \maketitle command as implemented in the article document class, sets plain as the page style to be used when the \maketitle command is used (without the titlepage class option). To get the footer, one option is then to redefine the plain page style; please take a look at the following example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[letterpaper]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{amsthm}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}

\fancyhf{}
\fancyhead[R]{\thepage}
\fancyfoot[C]{\tiny Copyright \textcopyright\ 2009 All rights reserved. Duplication for purposes of any kind is strictly forbidden.}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
%
\fancypagestyle{plain}{%
  \fancyhf{} 
  \fancyfoot[C]{\tiny Copyright \textcopyright\ 2009 All rights reserved. Duplication for purposes of any kind is strictly
    forbidden.}
  \renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
}
%
\title{Domain I}
\author{}
\date{}

\begin{document}
\maketitle

\end{document}
