Avoid hyperlinked TOC if hyperref is used
Hyperref
has a somewhat under-documented switch for this:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\makeatletter
\let\Hy@linktoc\Hy@linktoc@none
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\section{aaa}
aaa
\section{bbb}
bbb
\end{document}
There is the option linktocpage
for hyperref; it defaults to 'false', while:
\usepackage[linktocpage=true]{hyperref}
will make the page numbers rather than the text of the ToC the active link. This, along with the suggestion of @cmhughes will minimize how 'clickable' your ToC is and even make it look like there are no links to click on.
Modern versions of hyperref
also have the linktoc
option which supports section
, page
, both
, or none
. If you want to remove all links then none
is the option you want.
\usepackage[linktoc=none]{hyperref}
