header-footer
I am trying to add a footer to every page. The following code is working except the title page. I do not want to use any package. So, how can i do that?
\makeatletter
\newcommand{\ps@edbfooter}{
\renewcommand{\@oddfoot}{my footer\hfill}%
\renewcommand{\@evenfoot}{my footer}%
}
\makeatother
The problem is that \leftheadertitlepage is defined only within the titlepage environment, while \lhead sets an interal macro globally. So after of the titlepage fancyhdr wants to but \leftheadertitlepage in the left head but doesn't know what that means anymore! Hence the undefined control sequence error.
To fix this, move the definition of \leftheadertitlepage to thepreamble. Then it will compile without difficulty. But you will also find the code from \leftheadertitlepage on pages after the title page. To shut that off just put \lhead after the titlepage is over.
Here is your rearranged file:
\documentclass[titlepage,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{calc}
\usepackage[demo]{graphics}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0.4pt}
\fancyfoot[R] {\thepage}
\fancyfoot[C] {}
\newcommand\leftheadertitlepage{%
\begin{tabular}[b]{@{}l}
\begin{minipage}[b]{0.6\textwidth}
\includegraphics{test}
\end{minipage}
Energietechnik GmbH \\
Gesch\"{a}ftsbereich\\
Energietechnik\\
\end{tabular}
}
\begin{document}
\begin{titlepage}
\thispagestyle{fancy}
\fancyhead{}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
\settototalheight\headheight{\maxof{\leftheadertitlepage}}
\lhead{\leftheadertitlepage}
title page
\pagebreak
\end{titlepage}
\lhead{}% to shut off the placement of `\leftheadertitlepage`
whatever
\end{document}
I'm not sure what it is you exactly want on the title page, but this allows to the document to compile without errors so you can take it to the next step.
All you have to do is to redefine the plain page style (internally issued by the \maketitle command) to be the fancy style you defined:
\documentclass[11pt, a4paper, english]{article}
\usepackage[top=20mm, bottom=70mm, left=18mm, right=18mm]{geometry}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{fancyhdr, lipsum}
\usepackage[demo]{graphicx}% remove the demo option
\fancyhf{}
\fancyhead[C]{\includegraphics[height=40mm,width= \textwidth]{AbstractHeader.jpg}}
\fancyfoot[R]{\bfseries{\thepage}}
\fancyfoot[C]{RESTRICTED DISTRIBUTION}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0pt}
\setlength\headheight{117.89105pt}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\makeatletter
\let\ps@plain\ps@fancy
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\title{Using \LaTeX for industrial documents}
\author{Do \underline{\large{NOT}} list authors in this document}
\maketitle
\begin{abstract}
\lipsum[1]
\end{abstract}
\section{Background}
\lipsum[1-20]
\end{document}
As azetina mentions in a comment, another option would be to use the background package to place the logo and the footer in all the pages of your document. A little example:
\documentclass[11pt, a4paper, english]{article}
\usepackage[top=70mm, bottom=30mm, left=18mm, right=18mm]{geometry}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage[demo]{graphicx}% remove the demo option
\usepackage{background}
\newcommand\Footer{%
\noindent\parbox{.33\textwidth}{\mbox{}}\parbox{.33\textwidth}{RESTRICTED DISTRIBUTION}\parbox{.33\textwidth}{\hfill\bfseries\thepage}}
\SetBgColor{black}
\SetBgScale{1}
\SetBgOpacity{1}
\SetBgAngle{0}
\SetBgContents{%
\begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture,overlay]
\node at (0,0.6\textheight) {\includegraphics[height=40mm,width= \textwidth]{AbstractHeader.jpg}};
\node at (0,-0.68\textheight) {\Footer};
\end{tikzpicture}}
\pagestyle{empty}
\begin{document}
\title{Using \LaTeX for industrial documents}
\author{Do \underline{\large{NOT}} list authors in this document}
\maketitle
\thispagestyle{empty}
\begin{abstract}
\lipsum[1]
\end{abstract}
\section{Background}
\lipsum[1-20]
\end{document}
Some general remarks:
demo option for graphicx was only used to replace the actual image with a black rectangle; do not use that option in your actual code.height=40mm as an option for \includegraphics to simulate the actual size of the logo; probably you won't need to set that option explicitly.\SetBgVshift and also of the top margin.titlepage environment so I removed it from my examples.
Best Answer
Probably the most practical solution is to issue
\thispagestyle{edbfooter}after\maketitle.
