evince prints hyperref boxes

[hellospencer]

Binary package hint: evince

Since upgrading to Gutsy Gibbon I got a problem with evince: It prints the red and green boxes enclosing pdf links on the paper as well!

In Feisty Fawn it displayed these boxes, but did not print them. Xpdf as well displays boxes but does not print them. On paper it makes no sense having a 'clickable' link.

According to KaL this bug was fixed in a newer version.

My conversation with KaL in the #evince IRC channel on irc.gnome.org below:

<armin_> then boxes around the pdf hyperlinks are printed as well
<KaL> armin_: that was recently fixed
<armin_> ah okay
<KaL> armin_: you need poppler from git and evince from svn

Is there a way to disable the boxes? They're really ugly and problematic (distracting) when in "Presentation" mode.

I get the boxes when I use the hyperref in my latex documents (I don't recall every seeing them before gutsy, but so be it) . What I found is that I can tell hyperref not to draw the boxes like so:

\usepackage[pdftex, pdfborderstyle={/S/U/W 0} % this disables the boxes around links
            ]{hyperref}

Then pdflatex doesn't put the boxes in the PDF.

According to Carlos (KaL) that it's already fixed upstream, so it's only a matter to wait for the fix to land in Ubuntu, thanks you.

the bug should be fixed in hardy, feel free to reopen if you still get the issue using the new versions though
