LibreOffice is not a PDF reader/editor. Rather PDF are imported by filter into any of the modules in LibreOffice and then exported back out to PDF if that is desired.

Highest fidelity import is done as a non-editable image.

The document is PDF 1.6 using proprietary Adobe XFA from Adobe XML Form module. Even if this were flipped to be an enhancement--unlikely any dev interest would arise.
