It seems that some page breaks are intended to start a new chapter on a new, odd page number and the first content of the chapter as well. The document has a bad technical design, because it uses empty lines where not necessary and different fonts without need, fills the pages totally, and has no clear use of styles.

The original author has used a font "ConduitITC TT", which is not installed on my PC, and likely on yours neither. So a replacement font is used, that has a different geometry. If the replacement font has a larger height, than the lines become higher and do not fit on the page. It needs a person who has installed this font, to see, whether this alone already solves the problem, or whether further import problems exists.

There are some workarounds you can use:
(1) Delete the superfluous lines manually.
(2) Use the replacement table to exchange "ConduitITC TT" with a font, which exists on your PC and is not so high. It seems that a monospace font is desired.
(3) Reduce the font size in paragraph "Default Style" to e.g. 10 pt.

If this is not a Libreoffice bug then I would be happy to close it, I can't do a full inspection on 1000 proprietary files I have..

I encountered text where a checkbox is cutting some of it on 5.1.4.2, so it must be a LO bug on page 5

Comment 6 Cor Nouws 2016-12-07 08:47:07 UTC 
If there is no clear breakdown of what causes this difference (fonts, rendering in table, rendering around...?, handling of empty spaces / superfluous tabs..) I suggest to close this issue as invalid or ... , since it will not help us.
Comment 7 Buovjaga 2016-12-07 10:11:59 UTC 
I guess you are right. ConduitITC TT is a proprietary font, so the test case is really quite clunky. Closing.
