Have pages of a separate document not count into \getpagerefnumber{LastPage}

Question

I want to put a release document before my actual document. Currently I am doing this by using

  \input{"../Common Subdocuments/Documents/ReleaseDocument"}

The problem that arises is the new page count. My footer contains a line with this code:

Page~\thepage~of~\getpagerefnumber{LastPage}

I do not want the release document to count. Of course I could compile the document separately and merge those 2 together afterwards but I was wondering if there is a command that makes pages not count.

Answer 1

You can reset the page counter after loading the release page.

  \newpage\setcounter{page}{1}
