Page Layout ⇒ Disable page number in title page using fancyhdr

[knasibas]

Hi everyone!
I've noticed there are a lot of posts regarding page numbering, but I can't seem to find any solution to my problem.

As the topic says, I want to take away the page number from the title page while using the fancyhdr package. The point is that I want to start the counter at the next page. I'm not very familiar with the fancyhdr package itself, it's just that it has worked previously in creating simple title pages for me. However, if there's a smarter way of doing it, then I'm very open for suggestions!

This is what my code looks like so far:

Code: Select all

...
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\title{...}
\author{...}

\begin{document}

\maketitle
\thispagestyle{fancy}
\rhead{\scriptsize\textit{some header I'm using}}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}

First, please read Board Rules. Snippets of code usually aren't of any use and miss important infos like document class, for example. Always provide full Minimal Working Example (MWE).

Try this code and tell us what do you want changed exactly:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{report}

\usepackage[english]{babel}% needed for generating dummy text
\usepackage{blindtext}% generates some dummy text

\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyhf{}
\rhead{\scriptsize\textit{some header I'm using}}
\cfoot{\thepage}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}

\title{A Title}
\author{The Author}

\begin{document}

\maketitle

\Blinddocument

\end{document}

Thank you for the reprimand, I hope this post will clarify things.

What I want to do is to remove the page number completely from the title page and make the second page number one. I only want the header on the first page, which works with the code below so no changes there.

Edit: I should add that my output is a PDF-file (relevant?)

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,11pt,Final]{article}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\title{A title}
\author{author}

\begin{document}

\maketitle

\thispagestyle{fancy}
\rhead{\scriptsize\textit{some header I'm using}}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}

\newpage

\Blinddocument

\end{document}

No need for PDF file, the code you provided is enough. The key information was document class (I assumed report document class in my previous post). Try this:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,11pt,Final]{article}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\title{A title}
\author{author}

\begin{document}

\maketitle
\fancyfoot{}
\thispagestyle{fancy}
\rhead{\scriptsize\textit{some header I'm using}}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}

\newpage
\setcounter{page}{1}

\Blinddocument

\end{document}

It works perfect! Thank you!

Now that the problem is obviously solved, please be so kind and mark the topic (not the last post) accordingly as clearly written in Section 3 of the Board Rules (to be read before posting).


Best regards and welcome to the board
