PDF reader showing highlight on wrong page

olivergraf
On opening a PDF that I highlighted using the built-in PDF reader some 15 months ago, I discover that the highlights are not shown on the page where they should, but on the following page instead. This leads to some highlights being shown in areas, where there is no text at all (e.g. bottom of page 10 "Der kleine Unterschied..." is highlighted on page 11 where there is no text). Any idea what might have caused this behavior and how to fix it?
Thanks
Oliver

    1. Can you test with all plugins disabled?
    2. Did you delete a page from this PDF?

    1. Unfortunately same thing (I used to use Actions and Tags, Add-on Market, Linter, Translate and Zotero Attanger)
    2. It's 15 months ago so honestly I cannot swear, but I do not remember having deleted pages

    This usually happens if you delete a page using an external program or replace the PDF file with a version that has one page less.

    Is there a way to fix the issue? Would inserting an additional page at the beginning (using an external pdf editor) shift all the annotations one page?

    Yes, it should.

    O.K., that fixed it. I could even remove the additional page with the internal reader and everything is fine again.
