movie15/Hyperref unicode error in texlive

Post by fenghedo »

Hi all,

I am doing a presentation that uses beamer with movie15 package. I did not use hyperref package explicitely. The presentation compiles OK with MikTeX 2.7 in windows. However, when I tried to compile it with TexLive in Debian, it popped the following error:
==============
! Package hyperref Error: Unicode support for bookmarks is not available.
(hyperref} Activate unicode support by using one of the options 'unicode', 'pdfencoding=unicode, 'pdfencoding=auto' in the preamble.
==============

I don't know how to add. I tried to add it to the first line as:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[pdfencoding=auto]{beamer}
but it did not work.

My presentation is tomorrow. So any quick help is deeply appreciated.

BTW, I did a search and could not find much information. I did find one case where they said that it was the problem with movie15. So that's why I said it was movie15 problem. But I am really not sure.

Hi,

to include the option you can use

Code: Select all

\documentclass[hyperref={pdfencoding=unicode}]{beamer}
If your problem still presists, we will need to see a minimal bit of code (in the sense of a minimal working example) that allows us to reproduce the problem
