Increase page numbers in LaTeX Beamer
Question
in LaTeX Beamer, the total number of slides includes those that only contain the table of contents before each section/subsection, which increases the total number of slides unnecessarily. Is there any way to prevent this?
In other words: I don't want slides containing the TOC to have page numbers.
Kind regards, mefiX
Solution
Add the line
\addtocounter{framenumber}{-1}
on each frame you wish to exclude from total count.

OTHER TIPS
The frame option noframenumbering
will exclude certain frames from increasing the framenumber. I would recommend to use it in combination with the plain
option, otherwise it might look that the frames with the toc will show the same frame number as the frame before.
\documentclass{beamer}
\setbeamertemplate{footline}[frame number]
\AtBeginSection[]{%
\begin{frame}[noframenumbering,plain]
\tableofcontents[currentsection]
\end{frame}
}
\begin{document}
\section{title}
\begin{frame}
\end{frame}
\end{document}
