Sorry, I meant eXPert PDF Reader 1.5, not Foxit.

And yes, I checked the option in the Publish as PDF or XPS dialog -- there's
not a word about TOC there...

I'd wager the boxes have not much to do with the TOC per se, but with
hyperlinks. Try inserting a hyperlink anywhere else in the file and see
if it gets "boxed" as well.

ISTR that this might as well be a setting of Reader or wherever you look
at the resultion PDF, rather than of the PDF itself.
