Adding the pdfborderstyle={/S/U/W 0} to the hyperref package when
producing a pdf suppresses all visual clues as to the existence of
hyperlinks in the document. A strange idea to me : you create a pdf with
hyperlinks yet there is nothing that tells the user that some part of
the text is a link until, by chance, his cursor changes when passing
over the link.Anyway, let's not confuse the method of creation of the pdf with the display and print of the document. Evince and kpdf do the latter and usually the user (I mean the person reading the doc) has no control on how it was produced. When Michael above says that these boxes were probably present in the documents in the past, he is right. For as long as I've used latex, I have made documents with those red boxes around links. And for years now I was able to see them in kpdf, xpdf and acroread (I don't use evince much to remember how it was then) when displaying the document but somehow they were ignored when printing. Now with latest versions of evince and kpdf (but not xpdf nor acroread), those red boxes are also printed and that is both ugly and useless. Thank you Michael for your suggestion but I really want the best of both worlds : pdf with hyperlinks clearly visible on screen but invisible on paper. That's what we had in the past. Now why has this changed ? Is this a bug or a feature ? When someone creates a pdf and puts those red boxes around links, does he intend to have them on screen only or on paper as well ? What shoud the reader do ? I for one wish this behaviour could be set as an option in the reader. If it can't, I'd rather go back to the former behaviour. -- Internal and external links diplay and print problem https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/156643 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
