            Bug ID: 131222
           Summary: Use Libre Office draw to import pdf file. Then add
                    text box with Hebrew. Then export to pdf. Upon import
                    text is backward.
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.4.1.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Draw
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: ilan.tal at gmail.com

Description:
Draw has a very nice feature to modify pdf files using text boxes.
The trick is to make a text box, in my case, add Hebrew text.
Then possibly reduce the text font to fit where it should be placed.
Drag it to the position to do the update.
Save the result as an odg file, and export it to pdf.
The bug is if you then import the updated pdf, the Hebrew will be backwards.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Import original pdf file
2.Add you text boxes in appropriate positions (maybe reduce text font)
3.Export modified pdf.
4.Verify the pdf file displays well under the pdf viewer.
5.Import the modified pdf.
6.Verify the text box entries are backwards.

Actual Results:
Hebrew text in boxes is backwards after import to Draw

Expected Results:
Hebrew should display as it does in the pdf viewer.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
I am using Ubuntu 16.04. Don't have a Windows machine - not sure what happens
there. If you find it works on Windows, I can look around for a machine and try
it locally. (I saved both the odg and pdf modified files.)
