--- Comment #4 from V Stuart Foote <[email protected]> ---
This is expected, and because LibreOffice is not a PDF editor, nor much of a
viewer, it is out of scope for the project to do more when Opening PDFs.

That is When you "Open" a PDF, using filters LibreOffice imports drawn elements
of a PDF as individual ODF drawing objects and places them onto document
canvas. The fidelity to the original described in the PDF will vary depending
on its type and the destination object it is imported as.

As an alternative, LibreOffice provides a different PDF filter based on the
Google Chrome pdfium libraries, but it only inserts a page the PDF as a high
resolution raster image.

Below I've attached the sample PDF (attachment 195258) as inserted into a Draw
page--note the high level of fidelity to the source PDF.

If you can work with PDF in single pages as source for inserted images, great.
If not the current import filters are simply not intended to edit PDF, rather
just to bring PDF elements into an ODF document as ODF draw objects.
