I have seen some solutions on here to problems regarding removing red boxes from hyperlinks, but I have an issue with red boxes around references. Whenever I use the commands \eqref{} or \footnote{} the number in the PDF has a big red box around it. I have linked the issue to my classicthesis package. I like the formatting of this package, but I don't want to have red boxes around my references. What can I do? My document preamble is:

\documentclass[hidelinks,a4paper]{report}
\usepackage{mathtools}
\usepackage{setspace}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{amsfonts}-\usepackage{amsthm}
\usepackage{classicthesis}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage[colorinlistoftodos]{todonotes}

    Isn't http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/823/remove-ugly-borders-around-clickable-cross-references-and-hyperlinks what you need? – egreg Nov 21 '14 at 18:04

    \PassOptionsToPackage{draft}{hyperref} before \documentclass will remove them quite for sure, but it will remove all functionality of hyperref. For other solutions, use answers in what @egreg linked. – yo' Nov 21 '14 at 18:06
  • @egreg, I tried that but then it complained that the package conflicted with the command \begin{document} – Josh Nov 21 '14 at 18:16
  • LaTeX Error: Option clash for package hyperref.

    See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation. Type H for immediate help. ...

  • \hypersetup{hidelinks} should do. An example of your document preamble should be needed, add it to your question. – egreg Nov 21 '14 at 18:19
  • Using something like \hypersetup{colorlinks = true, linkcolor =blue, anchorcolor = red, citecolor = DarkGreen, urlcolor = MediumBlue} will remove the boxes and set the colour of the links to whatever you want. –  Nov 21 '14 at 20:04

I avoid the option clash for hyperref by loading:

\usepackage[svgnames]{xcolor}

The last package in my preamble is:

\usepackage[colorlinks=true, linkcolor=Maroon, urlcolor=Maroon]{hyperref}

Obviously, you should use your own preferred colours.

I struggled with this for quite a while when I was designing the template for a scholarly journal but after some digging around, settled on this. I don't have time just now to re-trace the steps I took in finding this out but I will do so if nothing comparable works for you.

  • Welcome to TeX.SX! You should definitely come back and elaborate on this answer –  Nov 21 '14 at 22:05
  • @Christian Oh, and thanks for the warm welcome! – Ian Astley Nov 21 '14 at 23:29
  • Just had a quick check. The (Boolean) option colorlinks is set to false by default. If set to true, it colours the links rather than putting them in a bounding box. The manual gives an indication of this (but it is not wholly clear). The manual will be at /usr/local/texlive/2014/texmf-dist/doc/latex/hyperref/manual.pdf; refer to section 3.5 – Ian Astley Nov 22 '14 at 19:02
