I've encountered the same problem as described in this or this post: I'm using hyperref with biblatex option backref and the created backref links lead to wrong pages. The answers above didn't help. Any help is appreciated. Here is my MWE, which reproduces the problem:

\documentclass{scrbook}

\usepackage[hyperref=auto, backref=true, style=chem-angew, backend=biber, sortcites=true, chaptertitle=true, doi]{biblatex}

\renewcommand{\cite}{\supercite}

\usepackage[pdftex, bookmarks=true, bookmarksnumbered=true, bookmarksopen=true, hypertexnames=false, breaklinks=true, linkbordercolor={0 0 1}, pdfpagelabels, plainpages=false, pdfencoding=auto, psdextra, pdfborder={0 0 .5}]{hyperref}

\usepackage{filecontents}

\begin{filecontents}{test.bib}
@book{A01,
  author = {Author, A.},
  year = {2001},
  title = {Alpha},
}
@book{B02,
  author = {Buthor, B.},
  year = {2002},
  title = {Bravo},
}
@article{C03,
  author = {Cuthor, C.},
  year = {2003},
  title = {Charlie},
}
\end{filecontents}

\addbibresource{test.bib}

\begin{document}
\pagenumbering{Roman}
\tableofcontents
\cleardoublepage
\pagenumbering{arabic}
\chapter{title}
We are citing \cite{A01,C03} and \cite{B02}.
\null
\chapter{title}
\null
Now we cite \cite{C03}
\printbibliography
\end{document}

edit: now plainpages = false (was plainpages = true) in the code hypperref option, as suggested in first link -did't work, either.

edit2: I've tried this answer, which suggested to turn hypertexnames = true and it seems to work, but i'm not sure, if this has unpredictable consequences to my PhD thesis which i'm unable to see right now.

  • You might want to refer to this question What does the hyperref option hypertexnames do?. If you do not reset any counters or re-use them you should be fine. Of course if it is your PhD thesis you're dealing with you want to be very sure nothing is messed up, so I recommend to apply some extra scrutiny to those links in your document. – moewe Jun 29 '14 at 06:51
  • The reason for why this works - I think - is that with hypertexnames enabled hyperref creates these guessable hyperlinks, so that a page numbered with "I" or "II" gets the link name page.I/page.II while with hypertexnames=false the number after page is the current value of \Hy@linkcounter, so the numbers are unique, but bear little or no relation to the actual counter of the particular object you're referencing. biblatex uses the page counter to create links for backrefs (it refers to page.<\thepage>), so the page links have to be of the former kind. – moewe Jun 29 '14 at 06:58
  • The reason why plainpages=false did not help you - I guess - is because you turned off the much more powerful hypertexnames, which implicitly makes the changes to plainpages useless. – moewe Jun 29 '14 at 07:09
  • Yes, the answer from your 'edit2' is the first one which works for me as well. Have you had any issues since then? – wondering Apr 19 '15 at 13:11
  • no issues since then, everthing works fine. if you are using auto-pst-pdf turn it off after processing the modified .eps. files, then rerun pdflatex. – ruffy Apr 20 '15 at 13:37
