hyperlinks turn blue on ipad

OutlineG Feb 13, 2014 5:45 AM

Hi,

I have created an Indd CS6 file with hyperlinks, exported it to interactive PDF to be viewed on an iPad with (standard) Acrobat Reader.

All links work fine, but each link is covered with a blue square (indicating where the links are, I assume). I chose "invisible rectangular" so I suspect it is added by Reader?

Is there a way to get rid of those blue squares? I do not want them on my design

Would a (paid) PDF Reader solve the issue?

Thanks for your help

Vanessa

There is a separate Adobe Reader for iOS forum which is where you should submit your request. Currently links always show blue in Adobe Reader.

Adobe Reader for iOS

If you use another reader like PDF Expert ($US 9.99 from Readdle, an excellent reader!) they will not.

Hi Steve,

Thanks for your feedback. Apparently I'll have to live with it for now then...

The new release of Acrobat Reader (January 2014) solves the question: all links invisable now! Yeay!!

You're correct. My mistake. I just hadn't opened up a file with hyperlinks since the update and didn't notice. Not mentioned in the release notes.

Thanks!
