Turning off Page Numbering for a large Table

Post by sw3quant »

I have a large landscape table. Its so large that it overwrites the page number. Hence I wish to turn the page number off for that page.

To turn off page numbers you do \thispagestyle{empty}. However this doesn't work in this instance, as the table takes up a full A4 page, so it is moved to the next free page and sets the current page to have no page number, while the page containing the table still has its page number.

How do I force it to make the page containing the table to have no number.

thanks

Turning off Page Numbering for a large Table

Post by localghost »

It's better to keep the page numbering and adapt the table to the page dimensions. There are several approaches.
  • Rearrange the table to reduce its width.
  • Decrease the font size for the complete table.
  • Scale the table by the graphicx package and its \scalebox command.
If that doesn't help, kindly prepare a self-contained and minimal example.
