Chris,
LibreOffice uses Draw for PDF editing, not Writer. That doesn't mean the
text isn't text. Everything is essentially in various text boxes. But
having used it quite a bit, I can attest it is way more of a pain for
large edits than either HTML or using Calc. For a small change though,
it is just fine.
I've edited many GnuCash reports using Calc. It is by far the easiest
route and the most useful. (you can do additional math if needed)
But of course, use whatever tool you prefer.
Also, as I mentioned, investigate stylesheets in GnuCash. You might
achieve what you want without using an outside tool at all.
Regards,
Adrien

Are you "printing to file" or are you doing something else? As Adrien has
pointed out, you have not really given us enough info to help you.
I tried various ways.
If you provide all info on the OS system & the version of GnuCash you are
using & steps you have taken, you might just find a GnuCash user on this
list who can help you more directly.
It's xubuntu and I'm running GnuCash 4.8 and LibreOffice 7.3.7.2.
However I have spotted my basic problem, opening a PDF file with
libreoffice opens it in lodraw and thus it *looks like* I have a PDF
with images. I don't seem to be able to force libreoffice to open a
PDF in lowriter.
I have managed a way round this now, pandoc will convert from HTML
directly to an loffice ODT file which gets me to the result I want, a
report I can edit reasonably easily in lowriter.
