Description LeonH 2025-10-31 17:31:58 UTC 
Description:
Some pdf files when opened with LibreOffice Draw, open with a broken formatting. I do not know which formatting causes this, it could be some special characters.

Opening this PDF using a normal pdf viewer does not break formatting.

I am attaching a pdf that is not getting opened correctly.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a pdf
2. Opens with wrong formatting.

Actual Results:
PDF opens with broken formatting.

Expected Results:
PDF should open with correct formatting.


Reproducible: Always
