See attached. When inserted you can "break" and then "consolidate" the text spans back into lexically meaningful runs to reassemble sentences and paragraphs. Otherwise LibreOffice is not a PDF "viewer". YMMV but personally I would never attempt to fill a form using LibreOffice as doing so is "out of scope". IIUC these UK forms are meant to be filled online, with newer forms also using the obligatory 'GDS Transport' font. This form subsets just the IRModena-Regular and IRModena-Bold and when not local to system LibreOffice will substitute. When "Opened" as a document (to Draw, Impress or Writer depending on filter selected) LibreOffice filter imports the text runs of the PDF creating a draw text box shape for each run--there can be multiple draw shapes per line of text and the position/size of the shape frame is dependent on combination of the PDF sequence and the font details from the PDF. When done in the Draw module you can "consolidate" the text boxes back to sentences and paragraphs, but the line heights can shift--breaking the inserted PDF image offers a little more fidelity, but both require font substitution. PDF generated from source documents with fonts with odd metrics are going to have issues--just as here. IMHO => NOB -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
