Please provide a specific pdf link since I only see html links, it'll save some time to people not particularly interested in plastering.

Dear Mr Nabet,
Thank you for your note.  In response to it, I tried to find the pdf on the site I mentioned in the bug report, but couldn't.  (Incidentally, I hope you are not suggesting that there are people on this earth that are not particularly interested in plastering, the world's most captivating topic).
Fortunately, the LibreOffice fault report gave the name of the pdf:  "PDS-Thistle-Multi-Finish.pdf"..  I searched for it on Ecosia and the site where it can be found is British Gypsum:  https://www.british-gypsum.com/~/media/Files/British-Gypsum/Data-Sheets/PDS-Thistle-Multi-Finish.pdf.  So I was mistaken in thinking it was on the DIYPlastering.co.uk site.  I apologise for that and hope I have not wasted too much of your time.
I tried restoring LibraOffice and it managed to recover the pdf, although it struggled and still seems to move around the document very slowly.
I hope this information gives you what you asked for.
Yours sincerely
R A D Baines

Thank you David for your feedback, I gave it a try on pc Debian x86-64 with master sources updated today, I could reproduce this. After more than 30seconds (Ryzen5, RAM 32GB), it doesn't open whereas it's a 3 pages PDF (679kB, version 1.3, PDF/X-1:2001, Creator: Adobe InDesign CC 13.0 (Macintosh)).

On console, I just noticed these:
warn:sdext.pdfimport:17709:17709:sdext/source/pdfimport/tree/pdfiprocessor.cxx:127: PDFIProcessor::setMiterLimit(): not supported by ODF

Miklos: noticing your commits about pdfium, thought you might be interested in this one but if you don't have time/no interested or whatever, don't hesitate to uncc yourself.

Dear Julien,
As you will have realised, I am new to this process, and am just discovering how one is meant to communicate within it.  So please bear with me.
I know even less about computers that about plastering.  So your technical comments are, I am afraid, well beyond me.
Just to add to my user observations about this bug, which might well be superfluous:  the pdf comprises three pages, as you have noted, but when opened in LibraOffice only the first page is displayed, even though three thumbnail pages are evident.  Also what appears to be the header of the document is slightly wider than the rest of the page below it.
It certainly seems that LibraOffice is struggling with the document, whereas when I open it in Firefox, all seems normal.
Yours sincerely
David Baines

No worries: comment 3 simply info for those who know to get a quick peek at the (possible) issue. And Miklos is a software developer/software engineer.

Doesn't automatically mean he will respond/ fix this instantly, but might take a look at it. We will see :-).

The PDF opened okay for me in Draw:

Version: 24.2.0.3 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: da48488a73ddd66ea24cf16bbc4f7b9c08e9bea1
CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 22631; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win

Opened attachment 167322 [details] in comment 5.

LO Draw's formatting was a little wonky around the smallcaps, but that was missing fonts. (Looked pretty close to the original PDF itself.)
