Remove Bookmarks from pdf

Hi I have prepared a pdf using latex where i have given email addresses in that tex file. When i click the email links in pdf, it pops up with a email client. How can i remove the link not popping up. Basically i want t开发者_JS百科o remove all these links/bookmarks? ( i am not using hyperref package also) Thanks

Since you're not using hyperref, the hyperlink (email address) is detected automatically by the PDF viewer. You can de-activate this in Adobe Acrobat via Edit > Preferences (or Ctrl+K) and deselecting "Create links from URLs" under the "General" category:

If you want to make the email addresses non-obvious to the machine, I'd suggest that you code them in a format similar to this:

<firstname> (dot) <lastname> (at) <somewhere> (dot) <net>

An example:

kaja (dot) programmer (at) stackoverflow (dot) com
