7 Options for the Adobe / PDF Document
As we mentioned in Section 4 above, there
are a number of options for the hyperref package that control the
properties of the Adobe / PDF document.
In this section we give a brief overview of some of these options; it is
however worth the reader's while to look at the hypperef
documentation as there are various other options which might also be useful.
In general, an option is declared by putting it in square brackets after the \usepackage
command. Multiple options are separated by commas, and text of textual options
goes in braces: for example
\usepackage[linkcolor=blue,pdfauthor={C. Clayton}]{hyperref}
The document example.tex provides further examples.
Options for Generating Bookmarks
To convert the LATEX document structure (i.e. your\sections, etc.) to bookmarks in the PDF document, use
one or more of the following options:
bookmarks-- the basic functionality is turned on;bookmarksopen-- the bookmarks appear expanded;bookmarksnumbered-- the LATEX document section numbers are included in the bookmark.
Options for Colouring Hyperlinks
colorlinks-- produce colour hyperlinks; the colours are controlled by the options that follow;linkcolor-- the colour for internal links (e.g. in the table of contents);urlcolor-- the colour for external links (e.g. to the www);citecolor-- the colour for bibliographic citations.
Note that there are various other types of links for which colours can be
defined. See the hyperref documentation for more details. Example
colours are black, green, blue, red,
magenta, cyan.
PDF Document Information
Various PDF document information fields can be filled in using package options. For example,pdfauthor-- the name of the author;pdftitle-- the title;pdfkeywords-- the keywords;pdfsubject-- the subject.
Other Options
