I have a particularly long table which spread across pages. I want a horizontal line to come at the end of the table at each page. The problem is when I use "\hline \endfoot" a horizontal line also appears after the caption. Is there a way to fix that? I don't want the horizontal line to appear after the caption.

Best Answer
Your problem here is that you wrote command
\caption{...}at the end of the table.A
longtablehas a special structure you should use. Please read the documentation (usetexdoc longtableon your terminal/console)!Just add after command
\endfootthe following code:to get what you want.
After some pretty printing and deleted not used packages here you get the following MWE
with the resulting last table page:
EDIT:
To get a better result I suggest some changings in your table.
\endfirsthead. In the code for the\endfootyou can add a notice that table is to be continued ... See for more informations the documentation oflongtable(for example withtexdoc longtable).ragged2eandarrayyou get a command\RaggedRightwhich allows a better hyphenating in your table columns. For example use>{\RaggedRight}p{2.5cm}to get the first column left justified with better hyphenation.\usepackage{booktabs}you can use the commands\toprule,\midruleand\bottomruleto get nice horizontal rules in your table where needed.Please see the following MWE (code changes marked with
<=========):you get the following result:
