Creating a link with no border

Hello ,

I am trying to create a link with no borders. The link appears and works perfect in Adobe reader, but in Mac Preview the link appears with a border around it. Here is my code :
PDAnnotationLink link = new PDAnnotationLink();

PDBorderStyleDictionary border = new PDBorderStyleDictionary();

border.setWidth( 0f );

link.setBorderStyle( border );

Can this be fixed to show no border in Mac's Preview ?


Best regards ,
Hesham

It looks to me like you're doing everything correctly, and Adobe Reader
renders it properly, so it sounds like that a bug with Mac Preview. The
only thing you can do is report it to them and hope they fix it. Setting
the border to zero really should work.

Can this be fixed to show no border in Mac's Preview ?
