In fact I didn't do anything, In Acrobat reader the text (links) were clickable. I did not use invisible boxes. See the file on http://www.blyp.nl/~gooimeer/surfpostarchief/surfpost1-maart2010.pdf Notice that the links in the colofon on page 3 are clickable and the links in the ads on pages 8 and 16, which are pdf images, are also clickable.
