General ⇒ Inaccurate reference position due to \addcontentsline

[andi1984]

Hi together,

I've written a document including bibliography, list of figures etc. and added these to the table of contents with the command addcontentsline

Code: Select all

\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{References}

etc.

The entries are listed correctly in the toc (correct page number), but the reference position, if I click on one entry in the toc which was created with \addcontentsline, the reference position is inaccurate. Sometimes slight inaccuracy (1 page difference), but also inaccuracy of 2-3 pages.

Does anybody has an idea how these inaccurate reference positions can be fixed?

Hi,

try using the \phantomsection command provided by the hyperref package. If the problem persists, build a minimal working example allowing us to reproduce the undesired behaviour.
