AEM Native PDF: Hiding the first instance of a footer

Hi, all.

I have a situation in which I'm adding copyright verbiage to the end of a preface in a bookmap.

I've gotten it to work when the copyright is only one page (thanks to a little previous help). When I came to a two-page preface, the copyright info shows up on the first page (which is not what we need). I created a "first page" alternate layout, but unfortunately this solution only works when there is a two-page preface.

The bottom line:

Is there any code I can add that tells Native PDF to hide a copyright on the first page if there is a multi-page topic, but to display it on the first page if the topic is only one page?

Thanks in advance!
