MacTEX-2014, TeXShop 3.36.1 on Mac OS 10.9.5 — when using hyperref I do not see the colored border that should appear around the hyperlinks in the pdf.
for example, when compiled with pdflatex, the code below should produce a pdf with a green border around the link on the right of "abc", but it does not. Any idea how to check where the problem is?
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\hypersetup{colorlinks=false,pdfborder=0 0 1,citebordercolor={0 1 0}}
\begin{document}
abc \cite{123}
\begin{thebibliography}{99}
\bibitem{123} efg
\end{thebibliography}
\end{document}

This is not a problem with TeX. Displaying the box is up to the PDF viewer. So, the above code (run on Mac OS 10.9.5) with TeXShop 3.45.1 is shown as follows:
