I think what you want is to set the border & fill color to null rather than
setting the entire annotation "hidden". Hidden annotations (& fields) should
not interact with the cursor at all. Sounds more like a mac-acrobat bug than
one on the PC.
link.setMKBorderColor( null );
link.setMKBackgroundColor( null );

Subject: Spam: [iText-questions] Invisible links
Successfully got my stamper to put several lines of text in different colours
at the bottom of a document each with a link to something different.
Had been testing it hard on a Mac, when I came to add it to the client solution
which runs on PC the outputted PDF file had the link there, but the cursor
insisted on being a text i-beam which meant that it could not be clicked. As
soon as it was turned into a visible type (and therefore ugly) it became a well
behaved link again.
Is this normal behaviour??? Or did I miss a trick???
fm_Font, fm_fileIn and fm_fileOut are passed variables...
