I have a very big (wide and long) table that want to show in only one page. I did not want to convert it to figure, or change the fonts. So I shrank the table margins (without shrinking the contents) and used some extra margins of the page as well:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{bigstrut}
\usepackage{adjustbox}
\usepackage{makecell}
\newcolumntype{?}{!{\vrule width 2pt}}
\begin{document}
This is the first page. Please see the second page;
it has a long table that we want to centralize its cell contents vertically without changing its horizontal alignments.
\renewcommand{\arraystretch}{0.45}
\begin{table}[htbp]
\vspace*{-85pt}
\centering

Here is the output:

Now, there are two problems;
The horizontal alignment of all the cells is okay.
Also for the vertical alignment of multirow items are good.
But the "one-row" cells are not exactly in the middle of the cells (vertically). They are close to top of the cells. I used
m{2cm}instead ofrafter\begin{tabular}{|c|c?r|...but it changes the horizontal alignments and also does not align the items vertically.How can I centralize the cell contents vertically without changing the horizontal alignment, and without changing the whole table's position?
I wanted to hide the page number in the second page (because of its overlap with the table), so I used
\thispagestyle{empty}. But it removed the page number in the first page.How can I hide the page number just in the second page?
I appreciate any ideas or solutions.
afterpagepackage as explained in https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/33007/suppress-page-number-for-a-single-page-that-only-contains-one-large-table – Raaja_is_at_topanswers.xyz May 20 '17 at 04:51\bigstrut? At least for your table it seams, that the output looks better if you set\arraystrechup to like 0.85 and remove all\bigstrut. Then it is still not perfect but better for the normal lines. But the multi row items then don't work correctly. – Georg May 20 '17 at 19:52
