Disable hyperlinks from being clickable in generated PDF

We have a FrameMaker 9 document that contains certain hyperlinks. All of these hyperlinks are dummy. However, when I generate the PDF, and click those links they open in the browser (though the page does not display since the URLs are dummy).

I want the URLs to appear as normal text and not as a hyperlink (even though that's dummy!)

Any help anyone...

If you haven't set the text up as hyperlinks in FrameMaker, it is likely

that Acrobat is turning it into links. In Acrobat, check your setting at

Edit> Preferences> General> Create links from URLs.

As Mike suggests, this is a "feature" of Acrobat that is controlled by each individual Acrobat/Reader's internal settings. It's something to be aware of when distributing PDF documents and you don't want active links.
