(For anyone's future reference):

Creating "invisible" link annotations (hyperlinks which show the link
pointer on mouse-over, but which otherwise do not have a visible outline)
ended up being easy, but not obvious.  Below is how I did it - hopefully
this will save someone else some time.

(great library, BTW - happy owner of ITIA 2E).

Regards,

After the normal reader / stamper setup and the creation of the
PdfAnnotation, I add this prior to stamper.addAnnotation (where my page
background happens to be the default (WHITE) color):

        annotation.setColor(BaseColor.WHITE);

On my platform (Reader X on WinXP), this is the only line that worked; the
following all failed to remove the black box outline surrounding the
annotation:

        //where rect is the Rectangle object positioning the annotation
        rect.setBorderColor(BaseColor.WHITE); //also null
        rect.setBorder(0);
        rect.setBorderWidth(0); 

        annotation.setBorder(null);
        annotation.setBorderStyle(null); 
        annotation.setMKBorderColor(null);
        annotation.setMKBackgroundColor(null);
