However, after this modifation, the dvi files created by LaTeX lost hyperlinks on my computer.

@ ytan: the driver chosen is meant to be for the end format. Hence if dvips is chosen you cannot rely on the links working inside YAP, which is a dvi previewer. Use the option "hypertex" with hyperref to make the links work in YAP.

Thank you very much for your suggestion. It works.

It also works with me, including the 'hypertex' option was essential. It also solved another problem for me: the package 'subscript' which for some reason, after the latest miktex update the system was unable to find, now is OK.

Adding the option "hypertex" (as in \usepackage[hypertex]{hyperref}) did indeed work in that clickable links appeared in both Yap and the final pdf file.

Unfortunately the links were all encased in a box in the pdf file. I'm now trying to get rid of the boxes.

According to the manual, the option "colorlinks", or "pdfborder= 0 0 0" should do this. Only it doesn't.

I am now using the following options:

\hypersetup{
colorlinks=true,
urlcolor=cyan,
pdfborder= 0 0 0
}


Using the option "\usepackage[dvipdf]{hyperref}" allowed the option "colorlinks" to remove the boxes from the links in the final pdf output; the links were coloured (as they should be) but no longer clickable.


Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? How do I get rid of those boxes around clickable links in the pdf output?

Do the following to remove the borders
\usepackage{hyperref}
\hypersetup{
colorlinks=false,
linkbordercolor={1 1 1}, % set to white
citebordercolor={1 1 1} % set to white
}

The above does not remove the boxes around url links. Here is an improvement.
\usepackage[pdftex]{hyperref}
\hypersetup{
colorlinks,%
citecolor=black,%
filecolor=black,%
linkcolor=black,%
urlcolor=black
}

This makes the links use colors inststead of boxes/frames, and sets the used colors to black. Fixed! Although this should be a standard convenience option imho.

Note that the given solution is only a hack. If you want to have clickable links in your PDF file that can vary in the text color (ever tried to set a blue text with the configuration provided by ashish?), then it is no good idea to simply make all hyperref colors black.

I do have a document where I place colored, linked text within a figure (thanks to the overpic-package!). So I needed a solution, since I 1. did not want these boxes to appear in my pdf and 2. wanted my links to be colored properly.

The hyperref-documentation seems to provide a solution. It mentions the package option "pdfborder". The description is not well specified, for it states that you can define the style of the boxes around links, but there is no description on how you can do it. The standard value is given with "0 0 1". However, I could find no description of what this means, and what other values are allowed.

If you define \usepackage[pdfborder=0]{hyperref}, then the boxes disappear AND the links are written in the color of the environment the link was set in. Actually, I tested some other values instead of '0', with always the same result: no boxes, native color.
