General ⇒ Avoid color-highlighting of hyperrefs and URLs?

[ljl16]

Hey there,
I have been working with LaTeX for a while and I was wondering if there was any way of avoiding the aesthetically displeasing and not very professional border of color around URLs or footnote references (as well as cites to bibitems and refs to figures).

Here is an example that will display my 'problem':

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{report}
 \usepackage{hyperref} 

\begin{document}
\url{http://gim.tkk.fi/GIMnet/GIMI}  \footnote{sample sample}
\end{document}

Is there a way of just changing the color of the font (to always dark blue, for example) instead of framing it in color?

Thanks!

Hi,

very good, that you posted a small compilable example, that makes helping easy. Here, you can use the option pdfborder={0 0 0} for removing the colored border:

Code: Select all

\usepackage[pdfborder={0 0 0}]{hyperref}

Or use \hypersetup instead:

Code: Select all

\hypersetup{pdfborder={0 0 0}}

Load the hyperref package with the hidelinks option.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{report}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[hidelinks]{hyperref}

\begin{document}
  \url{http://gim.tkk.fi/GIMnet/GIMI}  \footnote{sample sample}
\end{document}

P.S.: Very good example.
