--- Comment #3 from V Stuart Foote <[email protected]> ---
These layout problems happen when the font used in the PDF is not available on
the system and font fall back occurs. Fonts as subset into a PDF are not/can
not reliably be used by LibreOffice (bug 101220).

If you need the text spans from a PDF for some reason, then the Draw (or
Impress, or Writer) filters (poppler and cairo project based) will convert them
from the PDF into drawing text box shapes.

So, for both the attached test documents, use the LibreOffice Tools -> Options
-> Fonts dialog and assign both GaramondThree and AGaramondPro font to be
replaced with simply Garamond.  That reduces the overlaps to a reasonable
amount.

Unfortunately identifying the embedded fonts that need replacement is an extra
step (filter opening the PDF and then reviewing the font reported in the
properties panel for a selection of text). But it persists in user profile
(affecting import of subsequent PDF).

If you need pixel perfect fidelity of a PDF, break the PDF apart and insert
each page as an image (it uses a different filter path, pdfium based).
