[Bug 148334] Re: kpdf prints links with red borders

I would like to insist on the fact that those red borders appear on
documents that have been created with that purpose (for instance when
the user creates the pdf using latex and the hyperref package). The
creator of the pdf wanted red borders around links to identify them as
such and so kpdf display them on screen as expected. It is by the way
possible to create pdfs with hyperlinks that are not visually identified
as such in the document (why would anyone do that is another question).

The real question here is : what should the reader do when the pdf to
display contains those red borders ? Display them on screen ? Obviously
: that's what they were made for. Also print them ? That is the
question.

Xpdf and acroread do not print those borders, kpdf didn't in the past but now does.
Was this behaviour changed willingly (is it a feature then) or is it a bug ?
If a bug, I think it should be corrected.
If a feature, I think it should be possible to have an option in kpdf that let the user decides if he wants the borders printed or not.
