POCKETIFY GUIDE / 08
When text, images, or files won't open
Choose troubleshooting steps based on the type of missing content.
Incomplete web page text
Switch back to the original page first. If it requires login or dynamic loading, reading mode may only extract part of the text. Open the full content in a browser, then try saving again.
Page changes, unavailable source resources, or access restrictions can affect later display. A saved link doesn't guarantee that all source content stays available.
File or image unavailable
- Won't open on the original device either: check that import finished and the source file is valid.
- Won't open only on the target device: check that attachment sync and download finished.
- Can't select text in a scanned PDF: the file may not have a selectable text layer.
The source changed, but notes remain
Changes to the source page may affect annotation positioning. Check your saved excerpts and notes in the notes list first, then try opening the source.
A failed jump to the source isn't the same as a deleted note. Keep your excerpts while checking the source and saved position data.
