--- Comment #4 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
Understand that the "Text runs" inside the PDF are not organized in any lexical
sense as PDF is a presentation format--content of a PDF can be split apart and
structured with no regard for the source content.

But we already are looking at improving fidelity of the Unicode text run
composition for CTL and embedding strings of "Actual text" in our PDF export
(bug 11748)--IMHO would expect we can implement that same filter handling for
import or break.  

And believe attempts to assemble the "runs" into some minimum set of text boxes
on import (or break) would be a reasonable filter enhancement--and would in
general improve preparation of structured accessible documents.


However beyond that we must continue to reject any perception of LO as a PDF
"editor".
