Hyperlink rectangle no border Acrobat

I finally figured out how to make a hyperlink rectangle without a border. It makes no sense, but:

1.) Go to "Tools" / "Edit PDF":

2.) Under "Link" menu, select "Add/Edit Web or Document Link":

3.) Highlight where you want the link to be:

4.) See GIF below:
      a.) Link Type = VISIBLE rectangle (makes no sense)

     b.) Line Style = SOLID

     c.) Color = Your page's color (ex. white)

          I like to use the Color Palettes, though I have to SCROLL DOWN to find "White"

     d.) CLOSE the Color Pop Up Window. There is no helpful "OK" button.

That's only in the edit mode (so that you can see the object)... If you switch back to view mode (by selecting the Hand tool, for example), it should disappear.

What's wrong with selecting Invisible Rectangle under Link Type?

For some reason, selecting "Invisible Rectangle" makes the border of your link shape black (no matter what color you pick). Selecting "Visible Rectangle" doesn't make the shape opaque (counterintuitive); but it lets you pick the border color (since "no border" is not an option).
