I'm afraid that updating this library only is not possible for me because I don't want to break dependencies or fall into dependency-hell.

So: no annotation support for the next months/years until the new poppler lib version moves into my systems. Too bad. :-(

But thanks for the confirmation of the root cause.
Ah, I'm sorry to hear that. One last thought. Have you tried MuPDF? It uses its own rendering engine, which tends to be more forgiving of deviations from the PDF specification than poppler is. I've kept my Max 2 on firmware 1.9.1 where this problem doesn't occur, so I can't directly test if MuPDF renders annotations. But it may be worth a try, anyway.
