I am having issues with the elsarticle latex template. My abstract is long (over 2 pages due to spacing and font size which is designated by the journal), and when I use lineno the footer becomes crowded (please see image).
This is similar to the question which can be found here, and I have looked through the answers: Problem with elsarticle and lineno
However, using \enlargethispage{-2\baselineskip} after \end{frontmatter} does not work in this situation as the abstract is over 2 pages (though I would like to be able to apply \enlargethispage{} for the first page. However, I do need line numbers even for my absrerct due to the specific journal requirements.
Is there any way to have line numbers for the abstract over 2 pages and yet still not have a crowded footer?
