[Tex/LaTex] Footer/Header for first page of two column article

articleheader-footerieeetran

How can I add a footer and header just on the first page of a two column scientific article of type \documentclass[conference]{IEEEtran} and/or \documentclass{article}?

Best Answer

Use fancyhdr to create a firstpage page style and apply it after \maketitle using \thispagestyle{firstpage}:

enter image description here

\documentclass[conference]{IEEEtran}
\usepackage{fancyhdr,lipsum}
\fancypagestyle{firstpage}{% Page style for first page
  \fancyhf{}% Clear header/footer
  \renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0.4pt}% Header rule
  \renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0.4pt}% Footer rule
  \fancyhead[C]{My Title --- An Author}% Header
  \fancyfoot[C]{-~\thepage~-}% Footer
}
\pagestyle{plain}% Default page style

\title{My Title}
\author{An Author}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\thispagestyle{firstpage}% firstpage page style for first page

\lipsum[1-17]

\end{document}

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}

enter image description here

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}

enter image description here

Some general remarks:

The 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.
I used 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.
Most probably you will have to adjust the position of the logo through \SetBgVshift and also of the top margin.
It was not clear why you were using the titlepage environment so I removed it from my examples.

[Tex/LaTex] Same header and footer for every page

You need to set the page style to plain after redefining it using fancyhdr's \fancypagestyle{plain}{...} command. This is described in the fancyhdr documentation (section 7 Redefining plain style, p 7-8):

\usepackage{fancyhdr,graphicx,lastpage}% http://ctan.org/pkg/{fancyhdr,graphicx,lastpage}
\fancypagestyle{plain}{
  \fancyhf{}% Clear header/footer
  \fancyhead[R]{\includegraphics[width=\linewidth,height=5pt]{example-image-a}}% Right header
  \fancyfoot[L]{Name Firstname - v1.0 \\  Date}% Left footer
  \fancyfoot[R]{\thepage\  / \pageref{LastPage}}% Right footer
}
\pagestyle{plain}% Set page style to plain.

This should set the page style to plain for the entire document, including the first page of \chapters.

If you wish to have certain chapters to have a different (empty, say) page style, you would have to set this manually. For the \tableofcontents though, this is a bit tricky, since using

\thispagestyle{empty}\tableofcontents

\tableofcontents\thispagestyle{empty}

would set it to empty either too early, or perhaps too late, depending on the choice. This is because of the construction of the command \tableofcontents (from report.cls - your document class):

\newcommand\tableofcontents{%
    \if@twocolumn
      \@restonecoltrue\onecolumn
    \else
      \@restonecolfalse
    \fi
    \chapter*{\contentsname
        \@mkboth{%
           \MakeUppercase\contentsname}{\MakeUppercase\contentsname}}%
    \@starttoc{toc}%
    \if@restonecol\twocolumn\fi
    }

Note that \tableofcontents executes \chapter*, which in itself initiates a page break via \clearpage (or \cleardoublepage, depending on your document class options, like openright). So one would have to insert the page style somewhere around the place where the ToC is being built... in this case, at \@starttoc{toc}. You can do this with an etoolbox patch (there are other ways as well):

\usepackage{etoolbox}% http://ctan.org/pkg/etoolbox
\makeatletter
\patchcmd{\tableofcontents}% <cmd>
  {\@starttoc}% <search>
  {\thispagestyle{empty}\@starttoc}
  {}{}% <success><failure>
\makeatother

Taking all of this into consideration, you might be after the following setup:

\documentclass[twoside,openright]{report}
\usepackage{fancyhdr,lipsum}% http://ctan.org/pkg/{fancyhdr,lipsum}
\usepackage{graphicx,lastpage}% http://ctan.org/pkg/{graphicx,lastpage}
\usepackage{etoolbox}% http://ctan.org/pkg/etoolbox
\fancypagestyle{plain}{
  \fancyhf{}% Clear header/footer
  \fancyhead[R]{\includegraphics[width=\linewidth,height=5pt]{example-image-a.pdf}}% Right header
  \fancyfoot[L]{Name Firstname - v1.0 \\  Date}% Left footer
  \fancyfoot[R]{\thepage\  / \pageref{LastPage}}% Right footer
}
\pagestyle{plain}
\makeatletter
\patchcmd{\tableofcontents}% <cmd>
  {\@starttoc}% <search>
  {\thispagestyle{empty}\@starttoc}
  {}{}% <success><failure>
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\chapter{A chapter}\lipsum[1-5]
\end{document}

Of course, this could be changed (even improved) if you don't have a title, or if there was more information on your document structure.

Some references regarding the above usages:

What do \makeatletter and \makeatother do?
etoolbox documentation regarding command patching via \patchcmd (section 3.4 Patching, p 11)

Some other things to consider:

Using \linewidth if you wish to have a header image that spans the entire width of the text block (rather than 8cm).
Using the pageslts package which provides a VeryLastPage label, depending on whether or not you have unprocessed floats at the end of your report.
