<pre>At the moment, opening a PDF file with LibreOffice necessarily opens it in LO
Draw. This is often appropriate, but not always: A (non-hybrid) PDF exported
from LO Writer or Microsoft Word, or generated using a TeX engine for an
article or report - should be imported as a word-processor document; a PDF
exported from LO Impress or MS Powerpoint, or generated by (LaTeX) with the
beamer package should be imported as a presentation.
This bug is not about the ability to detect which LO app should open the PDF,
but for the more fundamental ability to actually perform the import.
It should be stressed that this ability would be quite useful even if the
import of stylistic features is partial and incomplete, as the LO user would at
least have a Writer document with the relevant text in order (as opposed to
innumerable disparate textboxes in Draw); or a presentation with the right
slides, albeit perhaps not very beautifully formatted.</pre>
