Theses, Books, Title pages ⇒ Pdftooltip adds undesired space

[Jos]

Hi,
when I use \pdftooltip and the Masters/Doctoral Thesis Template from http://www.latextemplates.com/template/ ... ral-thesis , Latex adds undesired space in front of the "tooltipped" word. This happens only with the Thesis document class. How can I use the tooltips and avoid the additional whitespaces?
Thanks for any help,
Jos

Hi Jos,

welcome to the forum!

Do you have a specific code sample to test and to see that behavior? In the meaning of a minimal working example. That would make it easier to help.

Thanks for the welcome!

Actually I didn't add an example because it seems to be a general behavior. Here is one though, which could not be more minimal

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,oneside]{Thesis}			  
\usepackage{pdfcomment}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[ngerman,english]{babel}

\begin{document}

This \pdftooltip{is}{believe it or not} text.

\end{document}

You will see the spacing between This and is.

Well, the package isn't used in the template, nor does the current version of the template contain a Thesis.cls.


Either way, the updated template has the same bug, a spurious space.

Find the line in Thesis.cls containing

Code: Select all

\pdfstringdefDisableCommands{ % If there 

and get rid of the space before the %.

It seems like I use an old version of the template. I will try to update and add your suggestions. Thanks for your support!

Thanks Johannes_B! I updated the template, then the line and it works!
