we can move lines in table from PDF, but it doesn't work as moving borders of table cells in Writer
Comment 5 V Stuart Foote 2018-07-26 02:30:49 UTC
LibreOffice is not a PDF editor. When a PDF is "opened" it is being imported to a Draw canvas and the text and graphic elements of the PDF are being converted to Draw objects.

In fact the imported line elements of the PDF form can each individually be selected and repositioned or reshaped to resize rows and columns--so this issue is not valid. 

Put another way, rows and columns are not present in the PDF, nor imported to the Draw canvas, as tabular rows or columns. 

Rather as recorded to the PDF, and as parsed by filter, they are just disjoint graphics and text--that is the nature of PDF, which is a final page description language is not an editable document format. LibreOffice can not "edit" PDF!
