<pre>Not following the work flow.
A PDF can be link inserted into master document--but has no preview, nor page
representation taken from the PDF. PDF will open in Draw when selected from the
master document navigator. Multi-page rendering of the PDF by the Draw import
filters (warts and all as to fidelity to original).
Otherwise PDF pages can be inserted into a defined frame in a section. Or
directly into a section via the Insert -> Image filter with high fidelity.
And, if link inserted into a Writer document as a new section, with Insert ->
Section with Link and a file selection of the PDF, the PDF pages will render as
blank place holder pages--the filter import simply does not render the draw
shapes to VCL canvas within a section (even if selecting the "PDF - Portable
Document Format (Writer) (.pdf)" filter from the file manager).
So note clear what is desired--filter rework to render Draw shape objects to
document canvas within Section, or handling of linked PDF within Master
Document.
Either case rather dubious practice as LibreOffice is not a PDF editor/viewer;
so binding PDF into a master document (to open in LO Draw) is not a reasonable
workflow.
