IEEE Xplore no bookmark [closed]

Question

\documentclass[conference]{IEEEtran}

IEEE Xplore paper asks to remove bookmarks, I have no idea why even after I added:

\usepackage[bookmarks=false]{hyperref}
\PassOptionsToPackage{bookmarks={false}}{hyperref}

Still it puts shows the links and bookmarks in the citation part of the pdf. A help would be greatly appreciated.

%\usepackage{ifpdf}
% Heiko Oberdiek's ifpdf.sty is very useful if you need conditional
% compilation based on whether the output is pdf or dvi.
% usage:
% \ifpdf
%   % pdf code
% \else
%   % dvi code
% \fi
% The latest version of ifpdf.sty can be obtained from:
% http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/oberdiek/
% Also, note that IEEEtran.cls V1.7 and later provides a builtin
% \ifCLASSINFOpdf conditional that works the same way.
% When switching from latex to pdflatex and vice-versa, the compiler may
% have to be run twice to clear warning/error messages.





\else
\fi





% *** PDF, URL AND HYPERLINK PACKAGES ***
%
%\usepackage{url}
% url.sty was written by Donald Arseneau. It provides better support for
% handling and breaking URLs. url.sty is already installed on most LaTeX
% systems. The latest version can be obtained at:
% http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/misc/
% Read the url.sty source comments for usage information. Basically,
% \url{my_url_here}.

Answer 1

This (minimal) document produces no bookmarks. Saying bookmarks=true or removing the statement bookmarks=false will enable them (perhaps it's necessary to click on the bookmarks panel of the viewer to see them in this case)

Some remarks, unconnected to the underlying problem

• The \else ...\fi pair is not matched -- will lead to a compilation error then
• \PassOptionsToPackage is probably not necessary in this case.
• hyperref should be the last package to be included in almost any case (unless cleveref is used too)
