I am trying to compile a pdf from Latex source using TexStudio, which calls pdflatex. Take a look at the following code:

%\documentclass[]{aastex62}
\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[]{hyperref}

\begin{document}

\section{The First}
\section{The Second}
\subsection{Section 2.1}

\end{document}

Now, when I use the article class, I get a pdf that has the contents embedded: Look, a working TOC

Whereas if I use the aastex62 class, I get nothing: Nope, nothing to see here

Some things that I know:
1. aastex already calls hyperref, so I don't have to import it again. The issue I'm having isn't sensitive to this change.
2. This issue also happens in Overleaf, so it shouldn't be in any way dependent on my personal setup. Here is a minimum working overleaf example
3. This issue is similar/the same as this issue, but the solution there does not work with the aastex62 document class.

So, what do I need to do to make this work?

  • You need us (i'm one of the AAS Data Editors who work on AASTeX) to fix the bug preventing ToCs. It is an #a11y issue that we need to fix (and will in v6.3). If you have additional input then please! => https://github.com/AASJournals/AASTeX60/issues/72 – Gus Nov 20 '18 at 00:02
  • @Gus Do you want me to delete my answer? I am happy to if it is bad advice here – David Carlisle Nov 20 '18 at 08:11
  • @Gus I was able to use your link to fix my problem. I just changed the line in the class file to Bookmarks = True, and now I have what I want. If you were to put that comment as an answer, I would mark it as the solution. Thanks – Gilly Gumption Nov 20 '18 at 19:19
  • @DavidCarlisle I'm never sure of the right SE/SO operational protocols! It is accurate to say that this is a bug and not our style preference, however. – Gus Nov 21 '18 at 12:18
  • @GillyGumption Again, I'm never sure of SE/SO protocols, but I'll put this bug fix as an answer and hopefully that will help others who find the solution via this platform. – Gus Nov 21 '18 at 12:19

I am one of the maintainers of the AASTeX package; this is a known bug with the workaround given below.

For reasons as yet undetermined, the fact that the bookmarks=false is fixed in our AASTeX class file means that it cannot be overridden by the user via \hypersetup. Other hyperref parameters, e.g., linkcolor= can be overridden via \hypersetup, but not bookmarks.

Thus the fix is to hack aastex62.cls to change bookmarks=true. We will be fixing this in v6.3 of this classfile because a Table of Content is an important accessibility feature, which we should not be impeding.

This bug was originally raised and diagnosed (by me) here: https://github.com/AASJournals/AASTeX60/issues/72
