General ⇒ Remove Bookmarks from PDF

[erictamlam]

Hi all,

I am submitting a paper to an IEEE conf, which requires no bookmarks in the created pdf file. I didn't use any hyperref package in my Tex code, and created the pdf file through "dvi2pdf". I've done a lot of search on the internet for a possible solution, but till now none of them worked out. The deadline will be due soon. Any help would be deeply appreciated. Thanks in advance!

These are all packages used in the tex file if they matter:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage{slashbox}
\usepackage{threeparttable}
\usepackage{tabularx}
\usepackage{mathrsfs}

\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{siunitx}
\usepackage{slashbox}

\usepackage{dsfont}
\usepackage{amssymb}

%\usepackage{pifont}
%\usepackage{ifpdf}

\usepackage{cite}
\usepackage[dvips]{graphicx}

\usepackage{enumerate}
\renewcommand{\labelenumi}{\arabic{enumi}.}
\usepackage{ifsym}

\usepackage[cmex10]{amsmath}
\usepackage{cases}
\usepackage{mathtools}

\usepackage{algorithmic}
\usepackage{algorithm}
\renewcommand{\algorithmicrequire}{\textbf{Input:}}
\renewcommand{\algorithmicensure}{\textbf{Output:}}

\newtheorem{theorem}{Theorem}
\newtheorem{definition}{Definition}
\newtheorem{remark}{Remark}
\newtheorem{lemma}{Lemma}

\usepackage{array}
\usepackage{eqparbox}
\usepackage{subfig}
\usepackage{stfloats}

Perhaps one of the packages you use loads hyperref implicitly, or the documentclass does that. You did not mention the class. If hyperref is loaded this way, you could specify the draft option or set bookmarks to false, such as

Code: Select all

\PassOptionsToPackage{bookmarks={false}}{hyperref}

at the very beginning of your document, or

Code: Select all

\PassOptionsToPackage{draft}{hyperref}

or use \hypersetup:

Code: Select all

\hypersetup{draft}

In your preamble.

Thanks for the answer! It was the thing you said about with my PDF)
Hope this advice helped the author of the thread as well as it has just helped me!

Here is the solution that worked for me: (Tested on IEEE EDAS checks)

In any linux terminal,

Code: Select all

pdf2ps paper.pdf

You will have a paper.ps Remove or delete your earlier pdf file. Now convert this .ps to .pdf

Code: Select all

ps2pdf paper.ps

This generates paper.pdf. (You will notice this pdf file is smaller than the previous pdf file). It passes the IEEE edas bookmark checks.

Hope this helps.
