--- Comment #10 from Khaled Hosny <khaledhosny at eglug.org> ---
This can be partially worked around but can’t 100% fixed since PDF does not
store actual text (usually) but just the end result of text layout with many
information critical to reproducing the original text completely lost.

Poppler has some support for this, the discussion and patches in
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55977 might help someone trying to
do the same in LibreOffice.

My 2¢, recreating text from PDF files is a lost cause, PDF is first and
foremost a print file format, so it should be viewed as some glorified printed
paper.
