How can I run pagenumbers where the first section occurs in LaTex?

Question

This question is related to the abstract message on the title page. I want to reset the pagination in this section.

Answer 1

You can also reset the page number counter:

\setcounter{page}{1} 

However, using this technique, you get the wrong page numbers in Acrobat in the field with the upper left page numbers:

 \maketitle: 1 \tableofcontents: 2 \setcounter{page}{1} \section{Introduction}: 1 ... 

Answer 2

I use

 \pagenumbering{roman} 

for everyone in the front and then switch to

 \pagenumbering{arabic} 

for actual content. With pdftex, page numbers are displayed directly in the PDF file.

Answer 3

To suppress the page number on the first page, add \thispagestyle{empty} after the \maketitle .

The second page of the document will be numbered "2". If you want this page to be numbered "1", you can add \pagenumbering{arabic} after the \clearpage , and this will reset the page number.

Here is a complete minimal example:

 \documentclass[notitlepage]{article} \title{My Report} \author{My Name} \begin{document} \maketitle \thispagestyle{empty} \begin{abstract} \ldots \end{abstract} \clearpage \pagenumbering{arabic} \section{First Section} \ldots \end{document}
