[Tex/LaTex] Creating acknowledgements page like abstract has same page number

abstracthyperrefpage-numberingtable of contents

I am using hyperref and the report document class.

To create an acknowledgements page that looks like the abstract I have

\documentclass[a4paper, 11pt]{report}

\usepackage{hyperref}
\title{My Title}
\author{Matt}

\begin{document}
\pagenumbering{Alph}
\maketitle

\phantomsection
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Abstract}
\begin{abstract}
an abstract
\end{abstract}


\newpage
\phantomsection
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Acknowledgements}
\renewcommand{\abstractname}{Acknowledgements}

\begin{abstract}
 I would like to thank blablabla
\end{abstract}
\newpage\phantomsection\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Contents}\tableofcontents

\end{document}

But in my table of contents it labels the abstract and acknowledgements page with the same page number, (both page i)

How can I make these "abstracts" be treated as separate pages?

Best Answer

Add the option notitlepage to the document class:

\documentclass[notitlepage]{report}

and then rewrite the code you've posted as

\pagenumbering{Alph}
\maketitle\thispagestyle{empty}

\newpage
\setcounter{page}{1}
\phantomsection
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Abstract}
\begin{abstract}
an abstract
\end{abstract}


\newpage
\phantomsection
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Acknowledgements}
\renewcommand{\abstractname}{Acknowledgements}

\begin{abstract}
 I would like to thank blablabla
\end{abstract}

EDIT

With your corrected MWE and your comments, try this way:

\documentclass[a4paper,11pt,notitlepage]{report}

\usepackage{hyperref}
\title{My Title}
\author{Matt}

\begin{document}
\pagenumbering{Alph}
\maketitle\thispagestyle{empty}

\newpage
\null\vfill
\setcounter{page}{1}
\phantomsection
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Abstract}
\begin{abstract}
an abstract
\end{abstract}
\vskip4cm\vfill

\newpage
\null\vfill
\phantomsection
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Acknowledgements}
\renewcommand{\abstractname}{Acknowledgements}
\begin{abstract}
 I would like to thank blablabla
\end{abstract}
\vskip4cm\vfill

\newpage
\phantomsection
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Contents}
\tableofcontents
\end{document}

Note that I've added \vskip4cm for a matter of aesthetics, you can reduce it or change it to \null.
