Created attachment 152212 [details] screen shot of draw with form loaded This is what I am seeing when loaded. You can open the document in Acrobat or Foxit reader and see what it should be.
Sorry but PDF format by design are not "editable". LibreOffice is not a PDF "editor", nor does it implement a PDF "form filler". What you see occurring is font fallback by the import filter (pdfio)--you would have to have exactly the font set IRS used to create that form installed locally to your system. Font subsets held in PDF are intended to render the document as produced--not edit it. LibreOffice "import" filter do sane thing of passing unknown fonts for replacement. The other LibreOFfice PDF filter for "insert" (pdfium based ipdf) will read the exact PDF structure and render it to document canvas as a bitmap image. Fidelity with the menu Insert -> Image and PDF is very high (but image remains low resolution), and the filter only parses the first page of the PDF. Both limitations in queue for dev effort. Selecting the inserted image and applying "Break" will render the PDF to Draw object (Text boxes matching internal layout of the PDF not into lexically sensible paragraphs) exposing all the original font and layout. But again fallback font assignments are made--LibreOffice does the correct thing here as well. You can set a replacement font in advance for any fonts being used in the PDFs with the Tools -> Options -> Fonts: Replacement table mechanism.
A nuisance to have to manipulate fonts, but not a bug. Resolved =>NAB
