Using hyperref package breaks emacs preview

[John Paul Adrian Glaubitz]

Binary package hint: auctex

Hi,

when using the package hyperref, AUCTeX is no longer able to
generate proper preview images within the emacs buffer. Instead,
just a "no access" icon is shown. Right-clicking the icon and
clicking "Show error" gives the following error output from
Ghostscript:

When disabling the hyperref package, that is commenting the
following line out,

\usepackage{hyperref}

the preview images are generated properly again.

1. Probably upstream problem.
Confirmed in Debian sid (auctex 11.85-1, emacs 23.1+1-6, tex-common 2.07).
(should search/report on the auctex list http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-auctex )

2. Workaround:
  check "pdf mode" (Gnu Emacs: under Command/TeXing options, or use C-c C-t C-p )
  this allows you to keep the hyperref package (commenting it out as suggested by Adrian interferes with revision-control etc.).

[Renato Candido (renatocan)]

This error is caused by the hyperref package. When disabling this package, that is commenting the line

\usepackage{hyperref}

the preview images are generated properly again.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Why is this marked a duplicate of #543266?

I can't use pdf mode (because I'm using pstricks in my document), and hyperref breaks my preview on auctex 11.87.
