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}

Great, thanks. Now, how to make the text "Link to PDF"
look like a link, e.g. colour it blue?
