--- Comment #5 from V Stuart Foote <vsfo...@libreoffice.org> ---
Hmm, so how does the PDF look if you Insert as image, using the pdfium project
lib based filter?
We'll read the PDF, using poppler and write to a Cairo surface then
interpreting the PDF into a series of ODF draw objects.
If fonts are missing/mislabeled within the PDF, a font substitution occurs in
creating the draw text box objects. We don't necessarily use an embedded font
subset. Also, we depend on poppler to split the text spans--in this case looks
like we're getting a "double struck" affect bcz of some word bound issue.
Letters are being repeated between words of the text spans and then not lining
up when rendered as draw text boxes.
If you need fidelity to the source PDF, insert (currently need to split pages
of the PDF) as image.
If you just need the content of the PDF to work with as ODF draw objects, with
some loss of layout, then open the PDF.
LibreOffice is not a PDF editor.
