A simple solution, available with Acrobat/Reader 6 and higher, is to have a screen-only underline property for links. (This underline also looks much better than the standard FM underline, which is often displayed as having inconsistent thickness). For more information and sample files, see http://www.microtype.com/ImprovePDF.html#19 You can change link properties in Acrobat (for all links at, once in recent versions of Acrobat), after the PDF file is created. (It is also possible to automate this process with FrameMaker-to-Acrobat TimeSavers, so that you get the desired properties automatically and consistently upon distilling).
