General ⇒ Repeated Appendix

[pallav]

Appendix A is coming twice in my thesis. A short file is included here for the understanding of my problem.

All the related files are attached herewith. Only run the "main.tex" file. There are no errors. Only both the appendices are repeating. Please take pain to download the RAR file and help me to solve the problem.

Besides the fact that this example is very far from a minimal working example which is why I nearly wouldn't have tested it: the output likes like I think it is supposed to. That means I get one appendix A and one appendix B.

Please clarify what the actual issue is and please make the example minimal. Both appendix files are small enough that they don't need to be included and the chapter 1 seems to be unrelated anyway. it should be easy to provide only one file who's code could be posted here. Posting code also helps you to get help: it's easier if one only has to copy and paste some code instead of having to download an archive, unpack it and then run it.

The words "Appendix A" is coming twice in the appendix page. I have uploaded the jpg file highlighting the issue.

Ah, now I get it: the first appearance of “Appendix A” is the same as “Chapter 1” for chapters before \appendix. The command \appendix changes \chapter to use \appendixname instead of \chaptername (along with resetting the counter and using \Alph{chapter}). The second is the title of the chapter. Since you used \chapter{Appendix A} the title seems to be repeated. If you'd use \chapter{First Appendix} you'd get

Thank you for the answer. My appendix has no title. So I replaced \chapter{Appendix A} by \chapter{}. Then the appendix page is fine. But in the pdf bookmark, only A is coming. Also in the Contents page, I am not getting Appendix A (getting A only). How to change the code so that I can get Appendix A in the pdf bookmark. How to get Appendix A instead of getting A?
