With respect - this is an irrelevant recommendation. People edit PDFs exactly because they don't have access to the source files with which they were generated; or because they want to be certain they begin editing in the absolute final typeset form of a document. PDFs are pretty editable. There are PDF editors, which work. Inkscape works. Adobe Acrobat (the full suite) works. They may work in the somewhat handicapped fashion I described above (not sure about the full Acrobat) - but they are quite useful. But I want LibreOffice draw functionality for these PDFs! and when this bug is fixed I can have it.
