You can look at the default (builtin) LaTeX template Pandoc is using:
pandoc -D latex | less
You'll discover that this template uses a variable named $pagestyle$
. Searchengining for 'latex pagestyle' led me to conclude that a pagestyle named 'empty' may achieve what you want. So I ran this command:
pandoc \
-f html \
-o fsf.pdf \
-V pagestyle=empty \
https://www.fsf.org
creates a PDF without page numbering... so I thought! When testing however, I found that the first page unfortunately still had a "1" at its bottom! The rest didn't...
So the next stage would be the following:
Save the default LaTeX template of Pandoc into a file:
pandoc -D latex > latex-pandoc.template
Use your editor of choice to hack the template so the first page looses its page numbering too. (I do not currently know how this can be achieved in LaTeX -- would have to google it myself....) The result is latex-hacked.template
.
Now apply this template when creating your output:
pandoc -f html \
-o fsf.pdf \
-V pagestyle=empty \
--template=latex-hacked.template \
https://www.fsf.org
(Maybe there is another choice of pagestyle which avoids the first page numbering? Maybe it is a bug in the definition of the empty pagestyle in LaTeX? I'm sure one of the friendly members of the TeXExchange community will soon chime in and improve my answer if I'm wrong...)
pdflatex
; I'm not positive there is an option for this.
