Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)

Status: UNCONFIRMED

Description:
PDF Documents when opened with LO Draw show the Arabic text scrambled and
completely unreadable.
The file attached is an example of what shows up in a document with Arabic text
content.
I tried to open the same document with Adobe Acrobat and it opened perfectly
fine.
I love LO and I want it to maintain its position as the best office suite out
there.
The details of my system:
Version: 7.3.3.2 / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 30(Build:2)
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.18; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-AE (en_AE.UTF-8); UI: en-US
7.3.3-3
Calc: threaded
The issue is there for V 7.3.3.2 as well.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Save the document attached to this bug report
2. Open the document with LO Draw
Actual Results:
The Arabic text is scrambled and not readable at all.
Expected Results:
Arabic text to look normal and be readable.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
OpenGL enabled: Yes
Additional Info:
- I checked fonts, I have the font used. I tried also to change the font, but
still the same issue.
- LO Office on Windows and Linus were tried with the same issue.
- Even documents created with LO and saved as PDF will have the same issue as
well.
- It is not only shows the text scrambled and unreadbale, but also if I save
the document, it is then scrambled and not readable using any other PDF reader
including Adobe Acrobat Reader.
- IMPORTANT: The attached document was created by another office suite, then
opened as scrambled as described, then it was modified for privacy reasons and
saved by LO Draw - like described in previous point.
