[Tex/LaTex] Error: option clash for package hyperref

bookmarkshyperref

I downloaded this master thesis format from the net, It was compiling without errors until I added this line \usepackage[bookmarks,bookmarksopen,bookmarksdepth=2]{hyperref}because I want to show the bookmarks table in the PDF file. And here is the code.

\documentclass[11pt, oneside]{Thesis} 

\graphicspath{{Pictures/}}

\usepackage[square, numbers, comma, sort&compress]{natbib} 

\usepackage[bookmarks,bookmarksopen,bookmarksdepth=2]{hyperref}

\hypersetup{urlcolor=blue, colorlinks=true} 
\title{\ttitle}

Please, could anyone help me
Thanks in advance

Presumably your local thesis class has already loaded hyperref try

\hypersetup{bookmarks,bookmarksopen,bookmarksdepth=2}

instead.

Update: moderncv loads the package hyperref by itself with its own hypersetup. From moderncv.cls,

enter image description here

Hence, you need not load hyperref again. But load the hypersetup using \AfterPreamble (or \AtBeginDocument) hook as in this code:

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{moderncv}
\moderncvtheme[green]{classic}
\usepackage[scale=0.8]{geometry}
\AtBeginDocument{\recomputelengths}

\firstname{Rob}
\familyname{Ward}
\mobile{mobile +64 21 0377 936}
\phone{phone +64 6 212 0549}
\email{contact@robward.co.nz}
\homepage{www.robward.co.nz}

\AfterPreamble{\hypersetup{
  pdfauthor={Rob Ward},
  pdftitle={CV for Rob Ward},
  pdfsubject={Detailed CV for Rob},
  urlcolor=blue,
}}

\begin{document}


% EDUCATION
\section{Education}
\cventry{2006--2011}{PhD physics/biophysics}{Massey University}{Palmerston
North}{New Zealand}{}  % arguments 3 to 6 can be left empty
\cventry{1999--2004}{BSc (hons.) physics}{Victoria
University}{Wellington}{New Zealand}{}
\cventry{1999--2002}{BSc mathematics}{Victoria University}{Wellington}{New
Zealand}{}
\cventry{1988--1989}{NCEE}{Central Institute of Technology}{Wellington}{New
Zealand}{}

\end{document}

The pdf properties will then look like:

Earlier attempt:

   \PassOptionsToPackage{pdftex,
            pdfauthor={Rob Ward},
            pdftitle={CV for Rob Ward},
            pdfsubject={Detailed CV for Rob},
            urlcolor={blue}}{hyperref}

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{moderncv}
\moderncvtheme[green]{classic}
\usepackage[scale=0.8]{geometry}
\AtBeginDocument{\recomputelengths}

\firstname{Rob}
\familyname{Ward}
\mobile{mobile +64 21 0377 936}
\phone{phone +64 6 212 0549}
\email{contact@robward.co.nz}
\homepage{www.robward.co.nz}

%\usepackage[pdftex,
%            pdfauthor={Rob Ward},
%            pdftitle={CV for Rob Ward},
%            pdfsubject={Detailed CV for Rob},
%            urlcolor={blue}]{hyperref}

Note: Noting the comments of Heiko Oberdiek,

Package hyperref does a lot of redefinitions in order to support non-ASCII stuff in strings for bookmarks and entries in the information dictionary of PDF files. Much of this support gets lost, if LaTeX expands the options the hard way before hyperref has a chance to see them. Therefore it is better to set the information entries after hyperref is loaded.

this is not always advisable. In this case, it won't give desired results as the hypersetup is over-written later by the moderncv itself.

[Tex/LaTex] Option clash with hyperref

I had to contact the folks at arXiv and they asked me to include authblk.sty setspace.sty, subfig.sty, caption.sty, caption2.sty, caption3.sty, babel.sty with my .tex document and eps figures and .bbl file.

Apparently these style files are the only packages that might be mixed versions from what we're running in our environment.

This sorted everything out and I have a submission on arXiv now!
