Hi there,

How are you re-opening the document? Do you see this issue when opening the document in other viewers?

If you are extracting and importing annotations on document load, you need to make sure you are passing the `disableFlattenedAnnotations` option to the PDF.js Express constructor. Not doing so will result in duplicate annotations like you are seeing.

Thanks,  
Logan
