I want to create a page footer but I only want it to appear on the first page only
Any subsequent pages I want apply a different page footer which is much smaller. However If I try and create 2 page footers with supression formulas for each page it doesn't seem to work

Since the graphic needs to only be on the first page, why not make it a report header page? The report header only prints once as the first page of the report. Would that work?
The second option is make the graphic first page footer actually a detail or group footer section that is conditioned to print only on the first record and set to print at the bottom of the page. Hope that gives you some ideas.
Try this it seems to work for me. I'm using Crystal 10
I have two page footers. Pfa has an image, pfb has the print date and pagenumbers.
Within Section expert I've suppressed pfa and added this formula in X+2
if pagenumber <> 1 then
defaultattribute = True
Else
defaultattribute = False
Within Section Expert pfb is not suppressed but the same formula has been added to X+2.
The result is the image appears on page 1 but the printdate and page number does not. One page two the image does not appear but the printdate and page number does.
Hope this helps.

What doesn't work?
Are you getting a large page footer that is trying to hold both?
One thing to try is to check the RESERVE MINIMUM PAGE FOOTER option in the section expert.
