[docbook-apps] Highlighting Hyperlinks in a PDF

- Subject: [docbook-apps] Highlighting Hyperlinks in a PDF
All -
I have several documents I am maintaining in the following environment.
Fedora Core 3
DocBook 1.3
Open Jade
I use the script docbook2pdf to create the PDFs and I supplement the
default print stylesheet in order to enhance the output for 2-sided
printing, etc.
My problem is that this method does not surround hyperlinks in the PDF
with a blue box the way other PDFs I have seen. In fact, there is no way
to tell that something is a hyperlink without moving the cursor over it.
It makes it very hard to locate a hyperlink when it is not highlighted in
some manner.
Is there a way to highlight hyperlinks using this PDF creation
methodology?
Thanks,
W. David Ashley
