So i´ve noticed that alot of my annotations disappears although I´m saving multiple times. Some seem to stay saved like 30%. And it is not the last saved that disappears, but more randomly. What can I do, besides buy a PDF-annotation software? Anyone with the same problem?

MacBook Pro 13″, OS X 10.11

Give this a try: boot into Safe Mode according to How to use safe mode on your Mac and test to see if the problem persists. Reboot normally and test again.


NOTE: Safe Mode boot can take up to 3 - 5 minutes as it's doing the following; 

• Verifies your startup disk and attempts to repair directory issues, if needed

• Loads only required kernel extensions (prevents 3rd party kernel/extensions from loading)

• Prevents Startup Items and Login Items from opening automatically

• Disables user-installed fonts 

• Deletes font caches, kernel cache, and other system cache files
