Is there any way to remove the Generate Hotspot and show actual link in the PDF while opening it in Acrobat Reader?

Question

Hi,

While hovering on the URL, it shows "Generate Hotspot" when I open the ADA compliance PDF in the Acrobat Reader whereas it shows the correct URL in Acrobat PRO.

This issue is only happening in ADA compliance PDF whereas the same URL works fine in NON ADA Compliance PDF in the Acrobat Reader as well.

I added the PDF macro <?xpp :pdfs;12;URL?>URL<?xpp :pdfe;12?>.

Can anybody help me to resolve this issue.

Thanks!

Aaaaand that is the final piece, thank you Jonathan Dagresta! 
 This was just tested and it hides the link border. Successful CSS is: 
 a[href] { -xpp-pdf-tag: "Link"; &emsp;&emsp;-xpp-pdf-annotation: "type={www} text={attr(href)}"; &emsp;&emsp;-xpp-pdf-annotation-options: "contents={attr(href)} linewidth={0}} "; }

I think there's a better way to "remove" the border, if that's what you need to do. 
 In the PDF Support in XPP manual for the -xpp-pdf-annotation-options property, this is what it says for the linewidth option: 
 
 So, instead of having to worry about whether the annotcolor option setting is going to work with the current background color so that the border is "invisible" and even what borderstyle value to set, I would just try setting linewidth to 0 as in the following: 
 a[href] { -xpp-pdf-tag: "Link"; -xpp-pdf-annotation: "type={www} text={attr(href)}"; -xpp-pdf-annotation-options: "contents={attr(href)} linewidth={0}; } 
 Note that if you didn't already have the -xpp-pdf-tag property set to "Link" for your PDF/UA output, I don't believe that you also need to add that here in order for the WWW "link" to work properly. That part just happened to be part of the example that was given in the documentation. But you may find that you actually do want that PDF/UA tag on this element, if you didn't already have it.
