--- Comment #2 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
Suppose it would be possible to establish a per module Document Service based
filter detection (like the filterdetect.cxx used for CSV (various formats) into
Writer or Calc [1]).

The Document Service is linked to the active LO module the request comes in
from (Draw, Impress, Writer) and would then use the associated PDF import
filter rather than the default import filter into Draw.

But that would be a lot of dev effort for what really is a corner case filter
import use. LO's own file manager, or the integration to use os/DE file manager
to select the document type/filter seems sufficient.
