Created attachment 192758 [details] PDF texts are disappearing Left original right opened in Draw for example
So what result when you Insert -> Image for the PDF page to an open Draw canvas, rather than File -> Open? Is the full text of the footnote rendered?

If I do insert -> picture : the first page of the PDF is opened correctly. (but I cannot really edit and it is only the first page) If I do File -> open : General Error, General input/output error If I do open Files(app) first, and right click on the PDF, Open with another app, chose draw : file opens more or less correctly now. The reported issue disappeared and that part is showing correctly: Now I see only some minor deviations like here above the "Unterschrift" this X should be not an empty square. and here where words has flowed together Should be like here: Maybe it was a single major problem I wrote in the bug report, but the minor ones I experiencing fast always. Thank you and best regards,

So, this is all expected. LibreOffice does not "edit" a PDF, instead we use filters to parse the PDF content and render it to be a document made up of native LibreOffice drawing objects. When you insert a PDF page as an image, we use a different set of filters that directly convert the PDF page to an image and place it intact onto a LibreOffice page with very good fidelity to the original. Chances are the font recorded into the PDF does not exist on your system. So the import filter must fall back to a different font in creating the drawing objects. If you need fidelity to the PDF, use the Insert (split out the pages of the PDF external to LibreOffice) and paste each. But fields of a form are not going to active in the result. Alternatively you can install the missing font(s) to you system (open the PDF for details of the fonts used). The import filters may then do a better job in creating the drawing text boxes to match the source PDF. YMMV, but then LibreOffice is not a PDF editor. Perhaps choose a program more appropriate for PDF touchup and form filling.
