[Tex/LaTex] Putting footnote below footer

fancyhdrfootnotesheader-footer

Hello, using \footnote{insert footnote}looks weird with my footer defined as follows. Is there a method to put the footnote below the footer line? Or any other presentation that looks good

\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyhead{}
\fancyfoot{}
\fancyfoot[R]{ \thepage\ }
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0.8pt}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage{dcolumn}

I also landed on footnote-in-footer‌, and it seems like what I exactly want, but somehow doesn't work for me.[tex.stackexchange.com/questions/23486/footnote-in-footer‌]

add this in your preamble \usepackage[bottom]{footmisc}

[Tex/LaTex] footnote in footer

I faced the same problem, and I managed to get the footnote text into the page footer using a simple hack. To display the footnotemark, I temporarily change the fancyhdr layout using \thispagestyle:

% footnote in footer
\newcommand{\fancyfootnotetext}[2]{%
  \fancypagestyle{dingens}{%
    \fancyfoot[LO,RE]{\parbox{12cm}{\footnotemark[#1]\footnotesize #2}}%
  }%
  \thispagestyle{dingens}%
}

It can be used like a normal pair of \footnotemark[x] and \footnotetext[x] (manual numbering is mandatory, as it is not figured out automatically):

text that needs a footnote\footnotemark[1]

\fancyfootnotetext{1}{this is the footnote which will appear in the page footer}

For changing the footnote appearance, please refer to the fancyhdr's documentation: http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/fancyhdr

[Tex/LaTex] Fancyhdr, fancy footer with footnote

I was facing the same problem, after seeing this answer Frank Engelhardt aproach I tried to improve it with the package etoolbox, even moves the page number to the right when a footnote exist and can handle multiple footnotes. (Frank's versions it's simpler, but can't handle more than one and you have to manually label them.)

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}%
\usepackage{etoolbox}%

\newcommand{\makefootnotelist}[1]{%
    \parbox{0.8\textwidth} {%
        \footnotesize{%
            \renewcommand*{\do}[1]{##1\\}%
            \dolistcsloop{#1}}}}%
\newcommand{\fancyfootnote}[1]{%
    \footnotemark{}%
    \def\listname{footlist\thepage}%
    \def\n{$^{\the\numexpr\value{footnote}}$}
    \ifcsdef{\listname}%
        {\listcseadd{\listname}{\n\ #1}}%
        {\csedef{\listname}{}%
        \listcseadd{\listname}{\n\ #1}}%
    \fancypagestyle{fancyfootnote}{%
        \fancyfoot[LO,RE]{\makefootnotelist{\listname}}%
        \fancyfoot[RO,LE]{\thepage}%
        \fancyfoot[C]{}%
    }\thispagestyle{fancyfootnote}}%

\fancypagestyle{plain}{%
  \fancyfoot[C]{\thepage}
  \renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0.4pt}
  \renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0.4pt}
}
\begin{document}
The family of exponential densities would be useful in Maximum Likelihood estimators later in the course. \fancyfootnote{Lets try and do some mathematica simulations for showing these densities and the effect of parameter variations.}
\end{document}

You can even redefine \footnote so you don't have to use a different one:

% Use instead of fancyfootnote
\renewcommand{\footnote}[1]{% ... }%

\cfoot{} it's now deprecated, use \fancyfoot[C]{} instead
