--- Comment #4 from V Stuart Foote <[email protected]> ---
Since these plots are coming from Scilab or GNUPlot could easily be output to
any directly readable vector or bitmap format. Why even take them through PDF?
But if you must...

Draw remains the preferred work flow for filtering PDF for import to ODF.

Depending on Impress to handle the OLE import (Drag-n-Drop) of PDF seems very
ill-advised. Yes it works sort of, but it will never be consistent. Guess wec
could describe it as an enhancement to Impress for better OLE object parsing of
PDF for use in Impress module.

Far better fidelity is gained by opening the PDF in Draw, which more completely
will render the PDF--including honoring its bounding box and scale.  Then
saving the filter converted PDF to ODF .ODG drawing provides the best handling
within the program. The converted drawing can be inserted as OLE (copied or
linked), or dragged from system file manager again OLE.

External conversion of the PDF to a vector or bitmap format is probably even a
better choice.  Ghostscript handles conversion well with a -sDEVICE= selection.
But continue to suggest not using EPS as there are continuing issues within
LibreOffice there.

Setting NEW, but not sure this is even a bug.
