[pdftex] hiperref and arXiv

[Aleks Kleyn]

They suggested to use
\hypersetup{colorlinks=true} 
as I use or to use 
\PassOptionsToPackage{colorlinks}{hyperref}
But does not work in my PC (I think they have more later version of
hyperref). However this does not work in their system as well. The
information in log is very short

(/3/texmf-2006/tex/latex/hyperref/hyperref.sty
(/3/texmf-dist/tex/latex/graphics/keyval.sty)
(/3/texmf-2006/tex/latex/hyperref/pd1enc.def)
(/3/texmf-2006/tex/latex/config/hyperref.cfg)
(/3/texmf-2006/tex/latex/oberdiek/kvoptions.sty)
(/3/texmf-2006/tex/latex/hyperref/puenc.def)
Implicit mode ON; LaTeX internals redefined
(/3/texmf-dist/tex/latex/url/url.sty))
*hyperref using default driver hdvips*

hyperref.sty    2006/09/06 v6.75e Hypertext links for LaTeX

  pd1enc.def    2006/09/06 v6.75e Hyperref: PDFDocEncoding definition (HO)
hyperref.cfg    2002/06/06 v1.2 hyperref configuration of TeXLive and teTeX
kvoptions.sty    2006/08/22 v2.4 Connects package keyval with LaTeX options

   puenc.def    2006/09/06 v6.75e Hyperref: PDF Unicode definition (HO)
     url.sty    2004/03/15  ver 3.1  Verb mode for urls, etc.
  hdvips.def    2006/09/06 v6.75e Hyperref driver for dvips
 pdfmark.def    2006/09/06 v6.75e Hyperref definitions for pdfmark specials

I use code
\usepackage[unicode,colorlinks]{hyperref}
\hypersetup{pdfdisplaydoctitle=true}
%\hypersetup{pdftex}
%\hypersetup{colorlinks}
\hypersetup{citecolor=UrlColor}
\hypersetup{urlcolor=UrlColor}
\hypersetup{pdffitwindow=true}
\hypersetup{pdfnewwindow=true}
\hypersetup{pdfstartview={FitH}}
And in the past this code worked fine. I care not only about hard copy, but
I like to read text from the screen and I want to make such reading easier.
However as far as I know box does not disappear on the printing. Also I
selected colors which are not gray on the printing.

What did they tell you?

There is a significant difference between colored links and the boxes
you see in the browser:

The boxes you see in the browser will disappear if you send the file
to a printer.  If you are are using hyperref's colorlinks option
you'll get the same colors when you send the file to a printer.

If the printer does not support colors they are converted to gray
levels and rasterized which looks very ugly at low resolutions and it
is probably not desired to have text typeset in gray in a book.

Use colorlinks for files which are supposed to be read online, but
avoid it if you intend to send it to a monochrome printer.

Regards,
  Reinhard
