About moderncv footer

Question

Is there any way I can turn off the footer from appearing in all but the last page of the CV? (and once again in the cover letter). Is a nice idea that even with just the first page they could call you, but I need the space. I've already modified the template in order to do so, but I wanna try to keep my cv as vanilla as possible.

\documentclass[11pt,letterpaper,sans]{moderncv}

% moderncv themes
\moderncvstyle{casual}
\moderncvcolor{blue}
\usepackage[scale=0.75]{geometry}

% personal data
\name{John}{Doe}
\phone[mobile]{+1~(234)~567~890}

% content

\begin{document}
\makecvtitle

\section{Education}
\cventry{1998-2007}{Degree}{Institution}{City}{\textit{Grade}}{Description}

\pagebreak % just to simulate a lenghty CV for this MWE

\section{Computer skills}
Second page

\end{document}

Answer 1

If I understand correctly, you want the footer only in the last page.

This can be achieved in the following way:

1. Put \pagestyle{empty} just after \makecvtitle to remove the footer from all pages.
2. Put \thispagestyle{plain} just before \end{document}. This ensures that the last page has the footer (note that moderncv redefines and uses the plain style).

To remove extra white space from footer you can also use

\usepackage[scale=0.75, top=1cm, bottom=1cm]{geometry}

Add/Edit the above code at the beginning of your Latex file. Setting "bottom" length is doing the wonders over here.

After adding this your code should look something like this

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,sans]{moderncv}        

% modern themes
\moderncvstyle{banking}                            
\moderncvcolor{black}                              
%\renewcommand{\familydefault}{\sfdefault}         
\nopagenumbers{}                                  

% character encoding
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}                       
%\usepackage{CJKutf8}                              

% adjust the page margins
\usepackage[scale=0.75, top=1cm, bottom=1cm]{geometry}
\setlength{\hintscolumnwidth}{3cm}                
\setlength{\makecvtitlenamewidth}{10cm}           

\usepackage{import}
