Bug#428631: hyperref should autodetect pdftex even with a driver option
Package: texlive-latex-base
Version: 2007-9
Severity: minor
The hyperref package has to generate different \specials for different
DVI drivers; in particular, xdvi and dvips want "dvips" specials, and pdftex
wants "pdftex" specials. These correspond to package options. If you don't
give hyperref any package option, it autodetects pdftex; but if you do give
it the [dvips] option, it doesn't check for pdftex. This causes a flood of
warning messages and nonfunctional hyperlinks in the output if you run a
file with \usepackage[dvips]{hyperref} through pdflatex. I habitually
render my files as DVI during composition (because xdvi is nicer to use than
evince alongside an Emacs composition buffer) but use pdflatex for final
output (since I am usually sending the files to people for whom PDF is a
much more convenient format than PS or DVI), so this is really annoying.
I have to put gunk like this in my preamble:
\makeatletter
\ifx\pdfpagewidth\@undefined
\usepackage[dvips]{hyperref}
\else\ifnum\pdfoutput=\@ne
\usepackage[pdftex]{hyperref}
\else
\usepackage[dvips]{hyperref}
\fi
\fi
\makeatother
It would be much better to behave the way geometry does: even if
given [dvips], that package checks for pdftex, and overrides the driver
option if it finds it.
