Driver Option Error

Post by rafaelgoes »

I am completely new to LaTeX. I'm using TeXnicCenter and MikTeX 2.9 and I'm trying to compile a document to pdf and I get the following error message:

Code: Select all

! Package hyperref Error: Wrong DVI mode driver option `dvipdfm', 
because pdfTeX or LuaTeX is running in pdf mode (hyperref)
If I change the output from "LaTeX => PDF" to "LaTeX => DVI" the error stops. But I'd like to build a PDF.

The problem is, I'm using this doc template that calls a thesis document class.

Can somebody give me a light?

Driver Option Error

Drop the »dvipdfm« driver option that is mentioned in the error message wherever you find it (including your custom class file).

If that doesn't help, prepare a minimal example along with an adequate problem description.
