General ⇒ Warnings with devanagari and hyperref package

[chimanrao]

hi
For the code snippet below, I am getting a bunch of warnings for every chapter, The general structure of the warnings is as follows:

Package Hyperref warning: Token not allowed in pdf string. How do I get rid of these warnings. If I remove the devanagari package, the warnings go away, but I need the devanagari package.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[10pt,a4paper,openany]{book}
\usepackage[pdftex]{hyperref}
\usepackage{dev}
\begin{document}


\chapter{Test}
Test
\end{document}

Regards

Your code works fine for me as is. Perhaps a matter of outdated packages. Add the \listfiles command as very first line and compare.

Thanks a lot.
Looks like I had a very old version of dev and devanagiri package in my miktex installation.
Upgraded with the latest version from here

Thanks again.
