Having an issue with link underlines

[Phil_459]

I'm using PDFXCE, licensed.

I have an issue I've never encountered before and thought I might need some help after dealing with this for several hours now. I found an EPUB document I wanted to convert to PDF. When I did so, all the links, internal and external, had dashes under them. In the EPUB there are no lines at all, just blue text. However, when I inspected the links in Calibre and Sigil, the dashes do show under the links in the preview pane.

I checked the links properties in PDFXC and it says they should be solid, but they aren't. I tried changing some of the properties but it wouldn't let me change anything.

I don't want to upload any images or samples of the file. I'm hoping someone who has experienced this problem might see this and have some insight. If I can clarify anything or provide additional information, let me know. Thanks.

Thought I'd add a quick update. All I'd really like to do is get rid of the underlining altogether in the PDF, but I haven't found a way to do it.

Hoh yeah, finally got it. I was able to get one of the underlines selected, which I wasn't able to do before for some reason; then I did a select all shapes from the context menu and deleted them. All gone, finally, lol.

Hello, Phil_459

I am glad to hear that you found a solution. We do not support conversion form EPUB to PDF, but based on what you described, the underlines there would have to have been placed by the creating application. In your shoes, I would reach out to the developers of that software, and ask them if they have any options which can prevent the underlines from appearing in their conversion process, so that you do not need to do this again in the future.

Kind regards,
