[Tex/LaTex] How to remove bookmarks from you pdf latex file

bookmarksieeetran

how does one remove bookmarks from a LaTeX generated pdf file?

I wrote the article in LaTeX. When submiting the .pdf to IEEE eXpress for checking, I get the error:

file contains bookmarks.

Any ideas how to solve it?

I already tried:

\hypersetup{bookmarks={false}}

Best Answer

Option bookmarks can only be given at package loading time. Setting it later with \hypersetup will give the warning:

Package hyperref Warning: Option `bookmarks' has already been used,
(hyperref)                setting the option has no effect on input line 3.

Bookmarks can be disabled, if bookmarks=false is given to \usepackage:

\usepackage[bookmarks=false]{hyperref}

Or

\PassOptionsToPackage{bookmarks=false}{hyperref}

can be tried, before hyperref is loaded by another package or class and option bookmarks is not explicitly set by the other package or class.

If the requirements of "PDF Specification for Xplore" are holding, then you should not use hyperref at all, because links are not allowed either. Thumbnails can be added by package thumbpdf; the PDF file can be converted by pdfopt of ghostscript for fast web view.
