Tested in 5.2.2 and 5.0.3.2

By default, dragging a PDF onto a running instance of LO will load that PDF into Draw.

I see no cropping of the image in Draw with

However, if I drag and drop the PDF onto a blank slide in Impress, the file gets cropped to show the top left hand corner of the image.

One workaround for this is to drag and drop the PDF file onto the Dock icon of the LibreOffice program, causing the PDF to be opened in a Draw slide. This slide can then be dragged and dropped onto an open Impress document in the slide sorter pane.

It is however indicative that Impress and Draw use different code paths for importing PDF files, which is clearly not optimal.

Confirming that the filter import used for drag-n-drop onto a Impress slide crops image to the upper left of the PDF.

However filter import, e.g. Open -> "PDF Portable Document Format (Impress) (.pdf)" of the PDF will open it fully as the first slide of an Impress document.

Suggests there is a bounding box/clipping issue with the drag-n-drop insertion.

Repro 5.2, no repro master 6.5+. I'll close. 
Now it's fine stretched to slide and can be set to original size
