Bug: Link annotations display a border if they shouldn't

[uko]

Hi,

the attached PDF doc has a lot of link annotations in it, that are displayed with a border around it (Viewer and simple dll). When viewed with Adobe reader no borders are displayed.
As far as I understand the pdf specification, borders with width=0 should not be displayed (and all annotations are defined with borders of width 0 in this document).
Can you fix this, please? Or do I have a misunderstanding of the specification?

best regards,
Ulrich

If you will read PDF spec, you will see, that the border can be specified or via /Border record, or via /BS.
And there is this note:

If an annotation dictionary includes the BS entry, then the Border entry is ignored.

Within your PDF file there are both /BS (which defines 1 point wide solid border because all entries are not specified, so, have their default values), and /Border (which defines 0 point wide solid border), and we are ignoring this entry. Why Adobe doesn't ignore it I cannot say.

Hello Ivan,

Thanks for your help. I missed the part of the text where it defines width 1 as default on the BS specification.
