I am currently working on a 300+ pages PDF file, and making heavy use of the highlight and annotation tools.
However, when I just scrolled through the document, a pop-up note for a highlighted section somewhere in the middle of the document mysteriously appeared on page 15, where it really doesn't belong.
So I closed and re-opened the file; the pop-up note was not on page 15 anymore, but it seemed to have disappeared altogether! When I now right-click the respective highlighted section in the middle of the document to "Open Popup Note", nothing happens!
This of course means that I can't 'trust' those annotation tools anymore now - and potentially means the loss of a lot of effort that has gone into those annotations!
Has anyone experienced a similar problem before?
As a side-note, it would help if there was a feature to jump to the next page containing user-created annotations - or the ability to only print pages containing such notes. Or how about an option to limit the search function to user-created annotations?
But maybe I should make a new thread out of this suggestion!?
UPDATE:
This problems with pop-up notes disappearing and being moved to a different place in the document seems to be more than a one-time occurrence.
I've deleted the respective highlightings, re-highlighted those parts and inserted a separate annotation using the Note Tool instead - yet the Note Tool's pop-up disappeared in a similar fashion; I guess it even appeared at the same spot in the document where the previous note had been (somewhere in the nether regions between pages 300 and 301 IIRC).
The OS this was tested on is Win98SE.
