I am having problems with the content of the page running over into the footer. Here is my Minimal Working Example.

\documentclass[a4paper,11pt,twoside]{book}

\usepackage{fancyhdr} 
\usepackage[tbtags]{amsmath}
\usepackage[ps2pdf]{hyperref}
\usepackage{hypdvips}

%Footer
\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyfoot{} 
\fancyfoot[LO,RE]{{\textsc{Some Really Intresting Footer Text}} }
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0.4pt} % To help see the content overflow into footer

\begin{document}

\fbox{\parbox[b][18.8cm][t]{0.33\textwidth}{Some text} }
\[\begin{aligned}
  a =  & \frac{{dv}}{{dt}} \\  
  a =  & \frac{{dv}}{{dt}} \\   
\end{aligned} \]

\end{document}

If I remove the hypdvips package then it corrects itself. The same goes for when I remove \fancyfoot[LO,RE]{{\textsc{Some Really Intresting Footer Text}} }.

Any idea why these three commands are conflicting with each other and how I can get them to work together?

  • Removing \renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0.4pt} doesn't appear to matter. Also, replacing your specific page content with \lipsum paragraphs indicates the problem happens due to the inability to page-break an aligned environment, as in Is it possible to pagebreak aligned equations? – Mike Renfro Jun 03 '15 at 01:59
  • Thanks, I have updated my question in regards to \renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0.4pt}. In this situation I am expecting the entire equation to move to the next page instead of running into the footer. – A Dark Divided Gem Jun 03 '15 at 02:06
  • If you change \[ and \] to \begin{gather*} and \end{gather*}, respectively, does the problem go away? What if you set the whole display up with just align*? (If you do that, you will of course want to remove the double-backslash after the last line of your display.) – MSC Jul 21 '16 at 19:23
