Publisher and Interactive PDF (Hyperlinks)

[Brent Pedersen]

When I export a PDF with hyperlinks, everything works. My question: is there anyway to set it up so that when I press on a hyperlink I don't see the outline of the box that is attach to the hyperlink? When I hold my mouse button down, I see a black box, when I release I go to the anchor. Normally, that happens very quickly (mouse click) but I don't like the brief flash of the black box.

Is there anyway NOT to have it show a black box when triggered?

What PDF reader/viewer are you using? On my Mac using Preview.app I don't see any outlines attached to hyperlinks regardless of the mouse state with the link.

Is there a setting in your PDF reader to show/hide outlines?

I think you're on to something. On my iMac/iPhone using Acrobat Reader it doesn't show.

But on my Surface Book using Acrobat Reader it does. All three using Acrobat Reader but the windows version does that for some reason. 

Thank you. I'll see if I can find the setting that controls that on the Windows version.
