How to remove lines around hyperlinks

Question

I'm using Adobe Acrobat DC on Creative Cloud. I've selected invisible rectangle, but a black line still shows up around the hyperlinked area on the PDF. I can change the line color or type of line, but I there's no option for 'no color'. I previously had Adobe Acrobat Pro and the no color option was available in the dialog box when you first create the hyperlink.

Does anyone know how to edit the setting or delete the lines? Even when I change the color for the line, a black line still shows up.

If you selected "Invisible rectangle" there shouldn't be any line surrounding the link, but you need to make sure to exit the links edit mode by selecting the Hand tool for it to happen.
