--- Comment #1 from Mike Kaganski <mikekaganski at hotmail.com> ---
LibreOffice deliberately uses *different* import and export filters for PDF,
which makes the format not editable, and PDF appearing only in Export dialog,
not in Save As.

LibreOffice is not developed as a PDF editor. Its support for PDFs is very
limited, in many areas: from major shortcomings (like not supporting different
page layouts in a single Draw file, which might improve over time) to things
that may not change - such as incompatible document model, which prevents LO
from keeping most of original PDF internal structure/metadata when
round-tripping.

Pretending that LO "supports" PDF editing would result in much user confusion,
when people will expect LO to keep the information it can't, and many bug
reports for something that is not meant to work anyway.

WONTFIX IMO.
