\addtokomafont{section}{\clearpage} breaks hyperref bookmarks

Question

My question is similar to Using \clearpage breaks \hyperref bookmarks; I have the same problem using KomaScript: I use \addtokomafont{section}{\clearpage} to make sections start on a new page.

When using the hyperref package, the section bookmarks point to the end of the previous section instead of the start of the new one.

\documentclass{scrartcl}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\hypersetup{bookmarksnumbered=true}
\usepackage{bookmark}

\addtokomafont{section}{\clearpage}

\begin{document}
\section{First}
Some text    
\section{Second}
More Text    
\end{document}

Welcome to TeX.SX! Maybe \phantomsection would help. – Bobyandbob Dec 20 '17 at 16:27 — Bobyandbob, Dec 20 '17 at 16:27

This solution works as well, like \addtokomafont{section}{\clearpage\phantomsection}. Which one is the better approach? – Markus Nißl Dec 20 '17 at 16:50
you should use \addkomafont only for _ font_ setting and not for anything else ... – Dec 20 '17 at 18:24

You could use \addtokomafont{section}{\clearpage\phantomsection} instead. The \phantomsection command is nessesary for hyperref to get correct bookmarks/pages.

So your code gets:

\documentclass{scrartcl}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\hypersetup{bookmarksnumbered=true}
\usepackage{bookmark}

\addtokomafont{section}{\clearpage\phantomsection}

\begin{document}
\section{First}
Some text    
\section{Second}
More Text    
\end{document}

\addtokomafont{section}{\clearpage} breaks hyperref bookmarks
