fancyhdrfloatsheader-footer
In my document I have a table that is quite big. I would like to have this table on a page with no header and no page number. How can I get this table on a \thispagestyle{empty}? Using it withing the table or tabular environment makes the page were the float is defined go empty and leaves the headers on the table.
For if it matters, I am using fancyhdr.
Assuming that you use the rotating package, i.e., that sidewaysfigure is a floating environment, fancyhdr's \iffloatpage macro should do the trick.
\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{rotating}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyhead[LO,RE]{\iffloatpage{}{(The Title)}}
\fancyhead[RO,LE]{\iffloatpage{}{\thepage}}
\fancyfoot{}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{\iffloatpage{0pt}{0.4pt}}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\begin{document}
\blindtext[8]
\begin{sidewaysfigure}
\centering
\rule{1cm}{1cm}
\caption{A rotated figure}
\end{sidewaysfigure}
\end{document}
(The blindtext package is only used to add some dummy text to the example.)
EDIT: In your subsequently delivered MWE, replace
\rhead{\small\TheAuthor}
...
\lhead{\small\normalfont\TheTitle}
\fancyfoot{}
\fancyhead[RO,LE]{\thepage}
with
\rhead{\iffloatpage{}{\small\TheAuthor}}
...
\lhead{\iffloatpage{}{\small\normalfont\TheTitle}}
\fancyfoot{}
\fancyhead[RO,LE]{\iffloatpage{}{\thepage}}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{\iffloatpage{0pt}{0.4pt}}
Don't consider the content at the top of page 1 as being a header. Instead, set it as part of a regular document. That way you don't have to worry about influencing the header space (or \headheight) and how it may affect subsequent pages.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx,lipsum}
\begin{document}
\noindent
\begin{tabular}[t]{@{}l}
\large\sffamily Address line 1 \\
\large\sffamily Address line 2 \\
\large\sffamily Address line 3
\end{tabular}
\hfill
\raisebox{\dimexpr.8\baselineskip-\height}{\includegraphics[width=32mm]{example-image}}
\section*{A section}
\lipsum[1-7]
\end{document}
The above solution is independent of fancyhdr or geometry, so you can add that without affecting the resulting output/layout.

fancyhdrprovides the\iffloatpagemacro that can be used to customize header and footer for pages which contain only floats.EDIT: For those that want to use the
\iffloatpagemacro with KOMA-script'sscrpage2package instead of withfancyhdr, add the following to your preamble (thanks to Stefan Kottwitz for the tip):(The blindtext package is only used to add some dummy text to the example.)
