https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=154727 --- Comment #5 from V Stuart Foote --- @Miklos, the Cairo based ipdf import filter does fail rather notably parsing the draw text object placements and sizing compared to the pdfium based filter. Should we do better? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=154727 --- Comment #4 from Dave Gilbert --- Hi, Thanks - however, I'm not sure this is a simple font substitution screwup. Each of the words seems to have been tab aligned - how did that happen? (IHT411 is showing simple font substitution issues with simple places just a bit longer than needed and overlapping stuff, but I'd agree that's not a bug). I agree about not using LO for form filling; but what I was actually trying to do was use it when the other PDF viewers were breaking and screwing up form field values so use it for manual editing. (We've just fixed two Okular bugs on this). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

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.
