<pre>There is some logic in your work-around. In the attached file most of the text
is actually an image. Clearly an image won't be flipped.
There are also text objects which I inserted over parts of the image. These are
the problematic parts.
The pdf viewer recognizes them as Hebrew text and displays right to left. Libre
Office fails to see that the text overlays are Hebrew.
I don't know exactly how you saved the PDF the second time around. What was the
input file?
If the input was the PDF and the output PDF, maybe the double switched output
looks OK on Libre Office but it probably looks backwards on pdf viewer.
The real problem is to find why Libre Office doesn't recognize the text boxes
as Hebrew text?

For all interested, I have a partial work-around: I saved the PDF and
opened it
again. Now the Hebrew text is flipped twice. For many (but not all) fields
this
works.</pre>
