General ⇒ pdfTeX warning (ext4): destination with the same identifier

[marbocam]

I'm gettin this error when compiling on cmd from page 1 to 4. Doesn't seem to make any non wanted changes, but I'm curious... What's going on?

pdfTeX warning (ext4): destination with the same identifier (name{page.1}) has
been already used, duplicate ignored
<to be read again>

Thank you!

You have two pages numbered 1. This can be a title page, and then the "real" page 1. It can be resolved, for example, by using \hypersetup{pageanchor=false} before such a duplicate page, and set to true after it, or by using a different numbering style, even if the number on a title page is invisible.

Thank you, Stefan. I'm confused as to why this happened, though.. Doesn't seem to have added anything that may have caused this issue...

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Perhaps post the example here (reduced to the minimal things, without the regular text), then we will find it out.

I'm unsure how to do that as I use a custom layout, but will try it with article...

Here's is my main doc:

It won't compile, sorry... You might be able to see the issue though Normally, the first page doesn't have a number, and then until the first chapter there's roman numerals..

[Stefan Kottwitz]

The first page number is 1 in roman format, after \mainmatter comes 1 in arabic format. That's the duplicate. Try this before \begin{document}:

Code: Select all

\hypersetup{pdfpagelabels=true}

Weird... I did that and the error keeps happening.. Then, I commented the \mainmatter line and, while the error desappeared, the numering of the pages continues in roman numerals and the link of the bookmark sends you to the title page of the thesis... :/

Tried to contact you through the site, but that doesn't seem possible. If you can see my email on my profile, you can write me and I will send you a cleared project - we might figure it out them. Otherwise, it's fine. I mean, the pdf compiles just fine
