--- Comment #3 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
Current 5.4 branch LibreOffice builds with new (bug 89727) pdfium based filter
insert the PDF with near perfect fidelity. But for now no support to "break"
the image (that is bug 106581) to be able to edit resulting Draw objects.

Alternatively, the legacy pdfio based import filter directly converts PDF
elements to corresponding Draw objects. As noted its fidelity is low but that
has always been deemed appropriate as Draw is _not_ a PDF editor.

The current state will likely not be improved much. And the pdfium based image
insert filter has limits and needs Skia additional development.

Aside from LibreOffice's insert as image there are better programs external to
LibreOffice for conversion of the PDF to other grpahic formats (vector and
bitmap), and other editing programs more appropriate to use with PDF.

Also, if the source documents are ODF, preparing Hybrid PDF can be convenient
way to handle need for PDF changes. Please explore the File -> Export to PDF
dialog.
