Page Layout ⇒ PDF hyperlinks to section don't work in article doc. class

[AleCes]

I've written an article with the following prologue:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper, 12pt]{article}
\usepackage{fullpage}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\defaultfontfeatures{Mapping=tex-text}
\setmainfont{Linux Libertine O}
\usepackage[latin, french,american]{babel}
\usepackage{xunicode}
\usepackage{xltxtra}
\usepackage[super]{nth}
\usepackage{paralist}
\pagestyle{empty}
\usepackage{lettrine}
\setcounter{secnumdepth}{0}

This document has three sections, but they don't appear in the hyperlink menu of Adobe Acrobat. What's wrong?

Hi AleCes,

you need to load the hyperref package:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{hyperref}

Load it after the other packages, exceptions to that rule are listed here.

Thank you for your help Stefan_k but it doesn't work!
Anyhow I never needed hyperref to have hyperlinks working: take a look at this prologue (in this case it's a book):

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper, 12pt, openany]{book}
\usepackage{fullpage}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\defaultfontfeatures{Mapping=tex-text}
\setmainfont{Minion Pro}
\usepackage{polyglossia}
 \setmainlanguage{serbian}
\usepackage{xunicode}
\usepackage{xltxtra}
\usepackage{bookmark}

On this book, hyperlinks do work, I can access chapters, sections, etc... through the Acrobat menu on the right!
P.S.
Isn't hyperref meant to provide url links? That's not what I need, I need internal links to chapters, sections etc...

[AleCes]

I was thinking that maybe

Code: Select all

\setcounter{secnumdepth}{0}

is the problem but no, that's not the case since I've used this option on other books without encountering any trouble.
Maybe hyperlinks don't work by default on articles?

Hi,

but it doesn't work!

this error description isn't very specific

Anyhow I never needed hyperref to have hyperlinks working: take a look at this prologue (in this case it's a book):

...
\usepackage{bookmark}

On this book, hyperlinks do work, I can access chapters, sections, etc... through the Acrobat menu on the right!

In the second example you load the bookmark package, which automatically loads hyperref. It adds advanced bookmark features to hyperref.

hyperref produces these internal links. They are PDF features, done by pdfTeX (or hyperref), not by classical LaTeX features, since the original format was DVI.

Sorry.
By "it doesn't work" I meant that the menu on the right doesn't pop up when I open this document with Acrobat Reader.
By the way I tried to load the bookmark package and this time it does work! I used to think it was needed just for footnotes, and since I didn't use them in my article I just didn't load it.
