abstractpage-breakingthesistitles
I am writing a thesis in the report document class.
I have a title page that is separate.
On the next page I want the Abstract and the Acknowledgements:
\begin{abstract}
This is the abstract.
\end{abstract}
\renewcommand{\abstractname}{Acknowledgements}
\begin{abstract}
I would like to thank...
\end{abstract}
Doing that puts them on two separate pages though. How can I change the abstract environment/create a new environment that behaves in the way I want?
Thanks!
hyperref creates page anchors. Since you've got 2 pages with the same number, even if it might not be printed, you would get two anchors with the same name.
If no page anchors are needed, pageanchor=false removed the anchors and the warning.
But if they are required, for instance for the index, you need another fix. One could switch it off and on:
\hypersetup{pageanchor=false}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\begin{abstract}
...
\end{abstract}
\hypersetup{pageanchor=true}
...
Or check the definition of acknowledgements: what's the reason why you use the titlepage environment? This sets the page number (again) to 1. You could do it in another way, for example use \thispagestyle{empty} instead if your reason is to have a page without visible page number.
Further there are hyperref options for avoiding such problems: pdfpagelabels and plainpages=false are useful if page numbers repeat, though they don't help if \thepage is repeated. Have a look at Hyperref and repeated page numbers in the UK TeX FAQ.
As explained earlier, the titlepage class option uses the titlepage environment to typeset title (\maketitle) and abstract (abstract-environment), which leads to a new page being issued. Using package titling, you can use the environment titlingpage and put \maketitle and the abstract in there. This is even more handy for twocolumn documents.
The pagenumbering starts on the page next to the title with number 1, unless of course the document is typeset twoside as explained in How to use pagenumbering in the document?
\documentclass{article}

\title{The important role of ducks in CSI teams}
\author{Masi}
\begin{document}
\begin{titlingpage}
\maketitle
\begin{abstract}
For over a century, fingerprints have been an undisputed
personal identifier. Recent court rulings have sparked
interest in verifying unique techniques to make the current
methods even more reliable. Ducks, as they do not have
fingers, play a key role in the development of new methods to
protect the innocent of our society.

With the
titlepageoption, theabstractenvironment is defined to use a separate page.You can do it simply by adding the acknowledgments to the abstract:
