Using Itext 7 for generating pdf and found Anchor tag is deprecated hence used Link.
Link projectNameLink = new Link("**Test**", PdfAction.createURI("https://www.google.com"));
projectNameLink.setFontColor(Color.BLUE)
.setBorder(Border.NO_BORDER);
Paragraph footerContent = new Paragraph().add(projectNameLink).setBorder(Border.NO_BORDER);
Added this to paragraph. The document in Acrobat Reader shows border around Test. Same thing I see in the below Url . Is it a bug ? Or am missing something. How to remove the border ?
Try to download the file
And open in Acrobat Reader on can see borders along the Link Text.
The default behaviour for iText is to add the border.
You can however apply some style to these actions.
PdfAnnotation la1 = new PdfLinkAnnotation(new Rectangle(0, 0, 0, 0))
.setHighlightMode(PdfAnnotation.HIGHLIGHT_INVERT)
.setAction(js)
.setBorderStyle(PdfAnnotation.STYLE_UNDERLINE); // this is what you need
Have a look at http://developers.itextpdf.com/content/itext-7-building-blocks/examples/chapter-6
I had the same problem just wanting to have no border at all, and I've found the solution:
PdfAnnotation la1 = new PdfLinkAnnotation(new Rectangle(0, 0, 0, 0))
.setHighlightMode(PdfAnnotation.HIGHLIGHT_NONE)
.setAction(js)
.setBorder(new PdfArray(new int[]{0,0,0}))
I found out the solution reading the javadoc: http://itextsupport.com/apidocs/itext7/latest/com/itextpdf/kernel/pdf/annot/PdfAnnotation.html#getBorder--
