First, some general details about my document: I'm using the scrbook class and the hyperref package. The document is split up into different source files (though this fact should not matter in this case).

I constantly get a warning for all of my footnotes (180 in total):

Document.tex:0. name{Hfootnote.xx} has been referenced but does not exist, replaced by a fixed one.

where the xx is replaced by the number of the footnote in the compiled document and is running from 1 to 180 (in my case with 180 footnotes).

The numbering of the footnotes is correct and they appear in the compiled PDF as they should.

The only problem is, that the reference in the document is wrong. Clicking on the index of a footnote (in the text) always brings one to the very first page of the document.

What have I already tried/checked?

• none of the footnotes is in a table or caption




• numerous recompiling does not solve any of the warnings




• some footnotes do contain url{} but by far not all

Does anybody have got some hints what else I should check?

Well the following works fine. So you should try to find out what your document is doing differently.

documentclass{scrbook}



usepackage{hyperref}



begin{document}

abcnewpage abcfootnote{blub}

end{document}

My guess is that you are not following the rule "load hyperref as the last package" and that something is redefining footnote.

I ran into a similar problem. Same warning, and same result (footnote links point always point to first page). Turns out, there’s some weird interaction between setspace and hyperref. The solution is to make sure setspace is loaded before hyperref:

documentclass{book}

usepackage{setspace}

usepackage{hyperref}

begin{document}

Hi.footnote{Yolo}

end{document}

Otherwise, if you swap the order, it will cause that same warning.

Note: bookmark also uses hyperref under the hood so a similar problem can arise even if you don’t use hyperref explicitly.

I had this issue as well, so I went with the footnotemark[n] where I placed the footnote, then later on in the document: footnotetext[n]{text}.

I think it was because of the command I placed the footnote in, that it was not working as expected. Outside of the tabular and textit brackets, footnote worked fine.
