--- Comment #5 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
LibreOffice is not a PDF editor. When a PDF is "opened" it is being imported to
a Draw canvas and the text and graphic elements of the PDF are being converted
to Draw objects.

In fact the imported line elements of the PDF form can each individually be
selected and repositioned or reshaped to resize rows and columns--so this issue
is not valid. 

Put another way, rows and columns are not present in the PDF, nor imported to
the Draw canvas, as tabular rows or columns. 

Rather as recorded to the PDF, and as parsed by filter, they are just disjoint
graphics and text--that is the nature of PDF, which is a final page description
language is not an editable document format. LibreOffice can not "edit" PDF!
