How to remove the coloured box around hyperref links in Latex document?

Question

I am using the "hyperref" package to add links to figures and tables in the latex document. However, it puts a colored box around the link that looks weird. How can I get rid of the colored box and keep only links?

Answer 1

You can add one of the followings to the header of the Latex document to remove the colored box around the links.

\usepackage[hidelinks]{hyperref}

This will hide the box and the link will have no color.

\usepackage[colorlinks=true]{hyperref}

This will hide the box and the link will have some color (e.g. red).
