malvineous: you correctly described the use case that the filter is designed
for: import a PDF so that it looks as similar as possible to the original.

This is not possible in Writer as a continuous text flow is in contradiction to
layout preservation. Writer would be the right choice for the use case that only
the content but not the layout of the PDF is important and that the content
should become editable flow text. IMHO this can be achieved by providing an
import filter odf->Writer and this still would be my suggestion for the next 
step. 

I know that others think that they can tweak the PDF import in Writer directly
to get slightly better layout stability but IMHO this is much effort for a still
not perfect solution, a bad cost-benefit ratio. OTOH an odg/odp import for
Writer would give us a more useful capabilities, e.g. ppt import and the like.

But these considerations should be done in a new issue. This one is too old and
too long already. It's hard to keep the overview and it would be better to start
anew with fresh minds and fresh ideas.
