hyperref Warning: Draft mode on

Question

I'm trying to get hyperref to work with pdflatex, but I'm getting the error hyperref Warning: Draft mode on and since all hyperrefs are disabled in draft mode, there are no links being created.

I tried doing the following: \usepackage[final]{hyperref} but still no success.

I'm using document class book: \documentclass{book} so nowhere do I say that I want draft enabled.

Tried compiling on two different machines with TexnicCenter using pdflatex(LaTeX=>PDF).

Any suggestions?

@UlrikeFischer, Working on it.. creating just a simple MWE works, so gotta figure out what breaks it.. :) — Filip Ekberg, Aug 06 '12 at 09:50
Look in the log-file if another package loads hyperref before you do it. Or if you load a package which could interact with hyperref. — Ulrike Fischer, Aug 06 '12 at 09:52
@UlrikeFischer, Maybe this is the culpit? \RequirePackage[unicode=true,draft,bookmarks=false]{hyperref} — Filip Ekberg, Aug 06 '12 at 09:53
It's quite strange that a package loads hyperref with the draft option turned on. — egreg, Aug 06 '12 at 10:08
@egreg, It's a package for CreateSpace publishing, so you don't want hyperrefs in the printed version.. But I do in the digital one! — Filip Ekberg, Aug 06 '12 at 10:22
@Karalga Yep. Problem was that another package included hyperref with draft mode. — Filip Ekberg, Aug 06 '12 at 11:37
@egreg Any package intended for paper print PDF/X must only use hyperref in draft mode. Not unusual! — , Mar 30 '18 at 00:40
If your book is print fiction, consider "novel" document class instead of book. Also consider KDP instead of CS. — , Mar 30 '18 at 00:50

According to the documentation,

\hypersetup{final}

should do the trick.

@F505 Just before \begin{document} should do. – egreg Dec 04 '17 at 21:15

Try:

\usepackage[draft=false]{hyperref}

Additionally, if you want to leave hyperref on for links but keep the same printed output, use something like:

\usepackage[hidelinks,draft=false]{hyperref}

When combined with a package like

\usepackage[obeyDraft]{todonotes}

it's really great and you can just change the draft option in the \documentclass[] and you can turn your 'to do' notes on and off really easily.

I'm using your same code (with no relevant variations) and it works perfectly for me:

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,twoside,openright,draft]{book}
\PassOptionsToPackage{obeyDraft}{todonotes}
%PassOptionsToPackage{hidelinks}{hyperref} % uncomment to hide links
\PassOptionsToPackage{final}{hyperref}
\usepackage{thesis-preamble}
\begin{document}

thesis-preamble.sty contains the line:

\RequirePackage{hyperref}

Also \RequirePackage[final]{hyperref} (and no PassOptionsToPackage) works.

This seems to be almost the same as in the already stated answers. – Stefan Pinnow Mar 29 '18 at 18:21
Other answers have minor differences, what I mean that I've done exactly the same thing as the asker, but it works for me – Taekwondavide Mar 29 '18 at 18:34
