--- Comment #5 from V Stuart Foote <[email protected]> ---
So, this is all expected. LibreOffice does not "edit" a PDF, instead we use
filters to parse the PDF content and render it to be a document made up of
native LibreOffice drawing objects.

When you insert a PDF page as an image, we use a different set of filters that
directly convert the PDF page to an image and place it intact onto a
LibreOffice page with very good fidelity to the original.

Chances are the font recorded into the PDF does not exist on your system. So
the import filter must fall back to a different font in creating the drawing
objects.

If you need fidelity to the PDF, use the Insert (split out the pages of the PDF
external to LibreOffice) and paste each. But fields of a form are not going to
active in the result.

Alternatively you can install the missing font(s) to you system (open the PDF
for details of the fonts used). The import filters may then do a better job in
creating the drawing text boxes to match the source PDF.

YMMV, but then LibreOffice is not a PDF editor. Perhaps choose a program more
appropriate for PDF touchup and form filling.
