\documentclass[12pt]{book}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{calc}
\usetikzlibrary{decorations.pathmorphing}
\begin{document}

\pagenumbering{roman}
\begin{titlepage}

\begin{tikzpicture}[overlay,remember picture]
\draw [line width=3pt]
       ($ (current page.north west) + (1.5cm,-2.0cm) $)
    rectangle
    ($ (current page.south east) + (-1.5cm,1.8cm) $);
\draw [line width=1pt]
    ($ (current page.north west) + (1.65cm,-2.15cm) $)
    rectangle
    ($ (current page.south east) + (-1.65cm,1.95cm) $); 
\end{tikzpicture}

\section*{\large{DECLARATION}}

%-----some paragraph-------

\newpage

\begin{center}
\section*{\large{ACKNOWLEDGEMENT}}
\end{center}

%-----some paragraph-------
\end{titlepage}
\newpage

\tableofcontents
\newpage 

\pagenumbering{arabic}

Welcome! Here is one possible way using eso-pic.

\documentclass[12pt]{book}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{eso-pic}
\usetikzlibrary{calc}
\usetikzlibrary{decorations.pathmorphing}
\AddToShipoutPictureBG{\ifnum\value{page}<3% <- change this if you want more
% or less pages to have a frame
\begin{tikzpicture}[overlay,remember picture]
\draw [line width=3pt]
       ($ (current page.north west) + (1.5cm,-2.0cm) $)
    rectangle
    ($ (current page.south east) + (-1.5cm,1.8cm) $);
\draw [line width=1pt]
    ($ (current page.north west) + (1.65cm,-2.15cm) $)
    rectangle
    ($ (current page.south east) + (-1.65cm,1.95cm) $); 
\end{tikzpicture}%
\fi}
\begin{document}

\begin{titlepage}


\section*{DECLARATION}

%-----some paragraph-------

\newpage
\thispagestyle{empty}
\begin{center}
\large\bfseries ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
\end{center}

%-----some paragraph-------
\end{titlepage}
\newpage
\chapter{Some chapter}
%-----Start chapters-------
\end{document}

  • Actually better but i don't want borders in chapters can u change that ? it is possible? Mar 7, 2020 at 5:52
  • @sathyamurthy I am sorry, I cannot understand what you are saying. What does " i don't want borders in chapters" mean?

  • Actually in the book template chapters (only chapter page)did not have headers and footers in the next page (same chapter only) header and footers will come.but it is overlapping the header and footers with the boarders in the next page (chapter's second page) Mar 7, 2020 at 5:58

Here is what worked for me - it maybe useful for others. In a book type of document - I wanted first page to have border. Note the use of \AddToShipoutPictureBG* instead of \AddToShipoutPictureBG{}.

\begin{document}

\frontmatter
\begin{titlepage}
    \makeatletter
    \AddToShipoutPictureBG*{
        \begin{tikzpicture}[overlay,remember picture]
            \draw [line width=3pt]
            ($ (current page.north west) + (1.5cm,-2.0cm) $)
            rectangle
            ($ (current page.south east) + (-1.5cm,1.8cm) $);
            \draw [line width=1pt]
            ($ (current page.north west) + (1.65cm,-2.15cm) $)
            rectangle
            ($ (current page.south east) + (-1.65cm,1.95cm) $); 
        \end{tikzpicture}
    }
    \makeatother
    
    \input{./coverpage/coverpage-thesis}
\end{titlepage}

  • This is covered in large part by the current (accepted) answer. I'd suggest turning your reference to \AddToShipoutPictureBG* rather than \AddToShipoutPictureBG into a comment.
