> \usepackage[pdftex]{color} This switches to pdf mode if you are using a pdf*tex engine, because the pdftex option invokes pdftex.def which sets \pdfoutput=1.
The solution is to load the color package without specifying a driver. teTeX comes with a clever color.cfg, so the color package with automatically load the right driver. Since pdftex misses a color stack, you might see some bad suprises by using color.sty with pdftex. Heiko Oberdiek has written the pdfcolmk package to get around most limitations. So, I suggest to use \usepackage{color} \usepackage{pdfcolmk} If you want to avoid a warning by using pdfcolmk in dvi mode just use \usepackage{ifpdf} \usepackage{color} \ifpdf \usepackage{pdfcolmk} \fi Thomas
