            Bug ID: 96764
           Summary: Annotations appear at the wrong place
           Product: poppler

When doing annotations (using evince) on an old pdf the annotation (yellow
highlight) shows up at the wrong position. See the attached screenshot, where I
have tried to annotate the headline of the text ("Time series properties of an
artificial
stock market") - but this happens for every part of text in the pdf (which I
have tried). However I get the annotation window when i click on the text which
I annotated and not when I click on the yellow area.
Since the pdf on which I have noticed this bug is copyrighted I will not upload
it here (you can download it here:
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0165188998000815 or send me
an Email if you do not have access to it).
The pdf is PDF-1.2 and was created using "Acrobat Distiller 3.02 for Power
Macintosh" in the year 1999.

This is not the first old pdf in which I have noticed this behaviour, however
newer pdf's usually work as expected. This does not happen in foxitreader and
apparently also not in
ezPDF(https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=768246).
