Bug: Remove Hyperlinks

I believe I have found a rather interesting bug. When using the Remove Web Links function in Acrobat DC on this document, it tells me 41 hyperlinks are removed. However, two hyperlinks remain. www.Flyways.us (page 3) and www.Fws.gov/duckstamps (page 5). If I go to add/edit links I get no bounding box for either of those links, but if I exit out of editing mode, they can still be clicked. If I delete the text and type it back in, the links disappear - BUT - if I then save it, close, and reopen - they are back again.

    This is caused by a setting in your systems Acrobat Preferences - under General - Basic Tools you have "Create links from URLs" selected. This tells Acrobat to find strings of text that look like URLs and makes them clickable. You can turn this off on you computer -- it is not a setting that affects the document itself.
