--- Comment #1 from V Stuart Foote <vsfo...@libreoffice.org> ---
Sorry, the LibreOffice ODF Drawing editor draw module is already intuitive and
easy to use.

Please read the manual: https://books.libreoffice.org/en/DG74/DG74.html, and
see chpt 2 for working with the rectangles and squares you probably would
prefer over drawing a line feature (which also works, but requires change
stroke to a custom weight 40 or 50pt).

Also, if you filter "Opened" a PDF into Draw, that is an error prone work flow
as all elements of the PDF will be parsed (with variable fidelity to original)
onto the drawing canvas.  

It is much better to split your PDF into pages outside LibreOffice (e.g. with
PDFtk or such) and then import each into Draw as a full image. And then apply
graphics (lines or polygons) to "redact" things from the dra.

As the default dpi resolution of the inserted PDF page defaults to 96dpi, if
you need crisper resolution set the environment variable
"PDFIMPORT_RESOLUTION_DPI" to some higher resolution, 600 DPI should suffice
for this type workflow.
