Text on the Bottom of a Page

Post by waterboy »

Hi :)

I have a page with only two lines on it. I want the two lines to be on the bottom of the page. How do I do that? vfill dosen't work since I don't have any text above the two lines.

Recommended reading 2024:

LaTeXguide.org • LaTeX-Cookbook.net • TikZ.org

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Without a Minimal Working Example nobody can really help you, but you can try to to add

Code: Select all

\phantom{bla}
on the first line and then put \vfill. The phantom text will take the same space as if it were there, except it won’t. This might 'trick' LaTeX. If not, please provide a Minimal Working Example.
