Hi Kevin,
Thank you for your answer. OK, I see…
I’ve found quite similar topic here, but there is no solution for my case. If such a behaviour works fine and as expected, is there any possibility to turn off collecting links as annotations? I don’t need them - I have an application that allow user to select their own annotations on PDF and links like that are not allowed there (I only use HIGHLIGHT and RECTANGLE annotations). Collecting unnecesary links affects performance.
Sorry if it’s not the case from the topic of this thread anymore 
But maybe it is, who knows 
Best regards,
Dorota
