plot filter import to Draw and saved

@Jérôme,

Sorry but you miss the point. We make no claim that an OLE insertion of a PDF
into any component including Draw will properly format the PDF. LibreOffice is
not a PDF editor!

Dealing with PDF, only native ODF as an .odg (or flat XML .fodg) drawings would
be assured of rendering for use in the other LO components.

That is just the way the suite is structured.

What is provided is a fairly robust filter to import and render the PDF into
the Draw component. It is not perfect, but does a reasonable job, and the
filter is continually being improved.

Some of that filtering is marginally able to handle filtering for use in
Impress and Writer. But IMHO that is a by-product and should not be relied on.

The proper work flow in dealing with PDF is Opening it with Draw and allowing
its filtered import. It could then further be exported from Draw into multiple
bitmap and vector formats that LibreOffice can consume, but there are other
applications that are more efficient for that.

I've attached the two PDFs as converted to .ODG, they can be OLE linked or
copied into an Impress .ODP.  Please note though that when correctly filtered
into Draw there is no additional white space.
