Sounds like wrong tool for the job... Assume you've opened a PDF into Draw? PDF is not considered an editable format, all LibreOffice does is read the PDF creating new drawing objects and bitmaps from what the PDF contains. So you might try the Insert PDF as image (one PDF page at a time, and you'd need to split the PDF) and then annotate on top of that, control the image resolution with an environment variable of "PDFIMPORT_RESOLUTION_DPI" 300 DPI works well for full page images. But the table and cell style support in Draw is a bit crude. Meaning you might do better by inserting the image to a Writer document. And creating a Frame over the image area to hold the new table you are creating. Or you could read the PDF into Writer instead of Draw using the "PDF - Portable Document Format (Writer) (*.pdf)" filter stanza in you file manager. And try to work over imported drawing shapes there. For you use case, Inserting the PDF image as a background seems more appropriate. the cells. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
