I suppose I should ask this on a LibreOffice forum, but does the LO<br>
import PDF filter bring in the file as editable text, or as vector<br>
objects? I suspect the latter, and if so, then the best way to get the<br>
PDF into either LO or Scribus and have it editable as text is to copy<br>
and paste from the PDF file.<br>
