How can I make the hyperlinks appear in blue? I am forced to use some preamble and this is what I found there:
\usepackage[driverfallback=dvipdfm,hyperfootnotes=false]{hyperref}
Hyperlinks are supposed to appear in blue by default but it does not for my document.
Either use options when calling \usepackage{hyperref} or \hypersetup later on (Please note, that not all options of hyperref can be given multiple times in \hypersetup again, but the color options are repeatable!)
\documentclass{book}
% Load with some options, i.e. \usepackage[colorlinks=true,linkcolor=blue]{hyperref} or blank
\usepackage{hyperref}
% Change the setup later on, after loading hyperref
\hypersetup{colorlinks=true,linkcolor=blue, linktocpage}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\clearpage
See \ref{foo} or \ref{foobar} for more information!
\chapter{Foo} \label{foo}
\chapter{Foobar} \label{foobar}
\end{document}
The screen shows the ToC with blue hyperlinks to the chapters.
If the linktocpage option is given as suggested by AlexG, the page numbers in ToC are made hyperlinks to the relevant chapter etc, as can be seen in the following screen shot:
colorlinks in combination with linktocpage.
\hypersetup{colorlinks=true,linkcolor=blue}?hyperrefhas options for this,\usepackage[colorlinks=true,linkcolor=somecolor,citecolor=somecolor]{hyperref}
