I want to present a link to a pdf file in a pdf.
In the LaTeX body I have
http://www.dieterbritz.dk/bla.pdf
but I want this to be a link. I tried href, adding
the package hyperref, and that hides the link text,
and puts a red frame around each line in the
Contents section for some reason.

A red frame is the default behaviour and each line in the table of contents is a hyperlink when hyperref is loaded.

 I also tried framing the link text with \ url{...}
but that didn't work.
 So, how do I display the link text and make it a
link that can be clicked on to get to the pdf?
 

Try
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\hypersetup{colorlinks}% colour the link text
% or
\hypersetup{hidelinks}% links the same colour as surrounding text
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\section{Sample}
\href{http://www.dieterbritz.dk/bla.pdf}{Link to PDF}
\end{document}
