--- Comment #5 from V Stuart Foote <[email protected]> ---
@Debra, the NEEDINFO is to you. We need to examine a PDF that you are unable to
import into Draw and then edit strings in the drawing shape text boxes.

The filter import uses poppler to split out the objects, which are then written
into draw objects on the document canvas. Looking at your screen clips, the
"Shipping" string is coming in as a sequence of drawing objects one character
per PDF element.

We can not reproduce that with any PDF, so we need to examine one of yours that
you continue to have issues with. 

You can use simple substitution in your source document to anonymize any
personal info (try C for any character, A-Za-z and N for any number 0-9) and
keep the rest of your document intact such that a PDF produced from it still
causes the issue you see that the text runs are split into multiple draw
objects.

Some split up of PDF text runs is normal, but every character into its own draw
object is not.  But we'd need to be able to verify and reproduce.

Thanks!
