Page Layout ⇒ Umlaute in hyperref

[tehingo]

Hey everbody,

I just encountered a very general error which I could not find on Google, so it might be helpful for a lot of people and I am glad to be able to post it here.

When I try to use Umlaute (Ä Ö Ü etc.) in the title of the hyperref package it does not work. I tried a workaround given in the manual using the ucs package, but can not get it to work. In the hyperref manual it says:

ucs/utf8x.def
The first time a multibyte UTF8 sequence is called, it
does some calculations and stores the result in a macro
for speeding up the next calls of that UTF8 sequence.
However this makes the first call non-expandable and
will break if used in information entries or bookmarks.
Package "ucs" offers \PrerenderUnicode or \PreloadUnicodePage
to solve this:
\usepackage{ucs}
\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}
\usepackage{hyperref}% or with option unicode
\PrerenderUnicode{^^c3^^b6}% or \PrerenderUnicodePage{1}
\hypersetup{pdftitle={Umlaut example: ^^c3^^b6}}
The notation with two carets avoids trouble with 8-bit bytes
for the README file, you can use the characters directly.

Here are some code snippets:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{ucs}
\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}
\usepackage[pdftitle={Vorlesung W\"arme- und Stoff\"ubertragung im Bachelorstudiengang Prozesstechnik},
		pdfauthor={ },
		pdfcreator={LaTeX2e,TeXLive 2008},
		pdfsubject={Vorlesung},
		pdfkeywords={W\"armestofflehre, Skript,  Vorlesung}]{hyperref}

I really hope you can help! Thanks a lot in advance.

Cheers
Ingo

Hi,

use the \hypersetup command:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{ucs}
\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}
\usepackage{hyperref}

\hypersetup{pdftitle={Vorlesung W\"arme- und Stoff\"ubertragung im Bachelorstudiengang Prozesstechnik},
      pdfauthor={ },
      pdfcreator={LaTeX2e,TeXLive 2008},
      pdfsubject={Vorlesung},
      pdfkeywords={W\"armestofflehre, Skript,  Vorlesung}}
