yDoes anyone know how to make these transparent or shrink the borders so they are not visible?

In what destination? RTF, PDF, HTML? And how are you creating the hyperlinks, using LINK= in a TITLE or FOOTNOTE or with URL= in a style override? Generally, depending on the destination, there is not a good way to alter how the rendering application displays the hyperlink. HTML gives you some control. There isn't much for RTF. PDF has something: 24182 - How to remove the blue border around URL= links in an ODS PDF file.

Without seeing code or knowing the destination or seeing what box, it's just a guess right now.

Try setting your linkcolor like this ... linkcolor = WHITE ...quick example ...

ods pdf text = '^{style [url="http://www.sas.com" just=center linkcolor=white] Here is the  ^{style [color=blue]link} to SAS } ';

Although setting linkcolor = WHITE does make the blue box go away, it is not a great solution. In some cases with links that wrap to multiple lines in ods pdf files, the white box will overwrite the text of the link causing the tops and bottoms of link characters to be truncated. One may end up with lots of partial characters. I wish there were a solution to the problem. I have looked for this many times.

I found a helpful article on this topic:  https://www.pharmasug.org/proceedings/2011/TU/PharmaSUG-2011-TU01.pdf. This paper shows a method that worked for my case.
