Does not work with hyperref

[sameersingh]

I contacted Zongfang regarding this, but this might be the right place for questions such as these.

I will the hyperref package with most of my papers to create links to sections, figures, references, etc. Unfortunately, with umthesis, I get the following errors:

Package hyperref Warning: bookmark level for unknown FrontMatter defaults to 0.

./umthsmpl.tex:178: Undefined control sequence.

\MakeUppercase ...ppercaseUnsupportedInPdfStrings

And this error appears for every \chapter, etc.

Any ideas on how to fix this? Alternatively, is there a package like hyperref that works with umthesis?

Hi, Sam,

This error looks the same as the error you sent to me and Zongfang

before. We have tried to fix the problem, but failed. Let me have a
discuss with Zongfang this weekend to see whether we can find a
solution to make it work.

Thanks and best regards,
Hong

I'm pretty sure my commit (4f326f4) fixed hyperref compatibility. @sameeer can correct me if I'm wrong.

[zhangh2009]

Great! Thanks a lot!

Hi Ben,

Thanks for your check in, but its still not working for me.

Specifically, I think the umthesis version uploaded here seems much older from the latest umthesis available on Zongfang's website: http://www.cs.umass.edu/~lin/umthesis.html
Your older version doesn't work for me since it doesn't support some of the extra options. Is there a reason you went with the older version of umthesis.cls?

Further, when I included your above changes to the umthesis.cls available on Zongfang's website, it still didn't solve the problem, and throws even more obscure errors.

Let me know if you need more details.

Thanks again!

Cheers,

Sameer

Zongfang sent me a Subversion repository when I asked him for the most recent version. I'll compare it to the tarballed version on his umthesis page.

[ransford]

The tarball did indeed contain newer stuff than the Subversion repository. Yep, I can confirm that there are some wack incompatibilities between the newer stuff and hyperref. I'll get to this at some point. Patches welcome.

[ransford]

Ha ha. Another UMass person had this very same problem in 2008: http://newsgroups.derkeiler.com/Archive/Comp/comp.text.tex/2008-10/msg00779.html

[ransford]

I've been hacking a little bit here and there, but it's obscure. In the meantime, don't use hyperref. The grad school probably hates hyperlinks anyway...

[sameersingh]

Thanks for looking at it Ben. I tried playing with it too, but very soon hit against my limit on Latex knowledge.

At least we have the latest version up, and hopefully, by leaving this issue open, somebody will chime in later. Even if grad school hates links, it will definitely be useful for draft and online distribution versions, so its definitely worth pursuing the integration.

[limist]

Hi all: I'm able to use hyperref in my umthesis.cls document by including this code right after \begin{document}:

\pdfstringdefDisableCommands{%
\let\MakeUppercase\relax
}

The Graduate School is OK with links in the document, BUT they must be black in appearance like the rest of the body text. HTH.

[sameersingh]

That works great! Can someone check this is into the sample tex file (as comments if you don't think hyperref should be enabled by default)?

This should also be included: \usepackage[colorlinks=false]{hyperref}

[zhangh2009]

Great! Let me check it in after test.

Hi, Sameeer,

I can't pass the compile with the two changes you mentioned. Could

you send me the *.cls file you are using and a *.tex file so that I
can try on my machine?

Regards,
Hong

Hi Hong,

Here's the cls file and the test.tex file.

Thanks,

@zhangh2009, should we close this issue? I can't tell.

[ransford]

Is this fixed? Should we close this issue?

[zhangh2009]

Hi, Sameeer,

 Is this problem fixed?

It is fixed if I add the 2 lines by @limist above manually. @zhangh2009 wanted to check in the change after verifying it himself, I don't know if that change made it to the latest version (I don't see them in the tex or the cls file).

If those changes are committed, the issue can be considered closed.

[RicGomez]

Hi,
Apparently this problems was fixed and the case closed...however, I'm having the same problem. I tried to use the hyperref package but it results in 101 errors and no PDF

[ransford]

Sorry, I can't seem to make hyperref work. @limist or @sameersingh, if you've made hyperref work for you, please submit a pull request or a patch. Adding the three lines @limist suggested -- which I also found in the newsgroup post I linked above -- after \begin{document}

\pdfstringdefDisableCommands{%
\let\MakeUppercase\relax
}

and putting these lines in umthesis.cls in the "Package loading" section

% optional: hyperref
\usepackage[colorlinks=false]{hyperref}

resulted in this fatal error:

Package hyperref Warning: Token not allowed in a PDF string (PDFDocEncoding):
(hyperref)                removing `\uppercase' on input line 187.

[6] [7] [8] [9]

Package hyperref Warning: bookmark level for unknown Chapter defaults to 0.

Runaway argument?
! Paragraph ended before \def was complete.
<to be read again> 
                   \par 
l.216 \unnumberedchapter{Introduction}

?

and I'm at an impasse until I get more time (in the middle future). Ugh, @chapter redefinitions!

[ransford]

I think we need to kill hyperref support, by e.g. having umthesis issue a warning if hyperref is loaded. Issue #8 comes from trying to support hyperref.

[ransford]

Good news on hyperref compatibility: @sappjw contributed a patch in #11 to patch up \chapter in a saner manner.
