When creating pdf's from a latex file using pdflatex you can set specific pdf options in the header. I use those to 'mask' the links in the pdf files generated, like so: \usepackage[pdftex, colorlinks={false}, % Color the text of links pdfpagelabels, % Make pdfs go 4 (7 of 40) instead of just (7 of 40) pdfborder={000}, % Place a white border around links in the pdf pdfstartview={FitV}, % with what level of zoom the pdf is opened, here its vertical fit pdfpagelayout={SinglePage} % Start the view in scrolling per page instead of continous scrolling ]{hyperref} so I expect to see a document without boxes surrounding black links. The colorlinks option is respected, the pdfborder option isn't as far as I can tell. Testing in Adobe Reader 8 shows that the pdf itself is correct. Any chance this can be corrected? Or is this a 'feature'? :)
the linked url gives a 404 can you please attach the pdf to the bug so that does not happen anymore?
Created attachment 13800 [details] pdf made with pdflatex, utilising hyperref package setting options for links in black without boxes
Possible work around for latex: Instead of: \usepackage[ colorlinks={false}, pdfborder={000}, ]{hyperref} Use: \usepackage[ colorlinks={true}, linkcolor=black, citecolor=black, filecolor=black, urlcolor=black, ]{hyperref} So instead of no color links and a white border, use colorlinks (which automatically disables the border) and define all colors as being black. Tested with pdftex on windows (miktex 2.6) and linux (texlive-full, ubuntu 7.10).
It's actually not our bug, so please go and tell the pdflatex people, they create the Link with /Border[000] but border needs to be at least a triplet of numbers, so we fall back to the default value specified in the pdf reference [0 0 1] (where 1 is border width) They should be generating /Border[0 0 0] for the no border case.
Thanks for the comment! I will take my bug to them. ;)
Now that i see, maybe it's your bug, could you change your pdfborder={000} to pdfborder={0 0 0} and see if it works?
You are correct! Spaces are a necessity. Thanks for the swift response. This saved me another non-bug bugreport which was reported save the account creation process. :P So for all people wandering by: The short way to have invisible links in your document: \usepackage[ colorlinks={false}, pdfborder={0 0 0} ]{hyperref} mind the spaces in {0 0 0}!!! Longer solution which allows for coloring specific link types: \usepackage[ colorlinks={true}, linkcolor=black, citecolor=black, filecolor=black, urlcolor=black, ]{hyperref} which defaults to no border so no pdfborder option needed. Once again thanks for the help guys!
