I need to select and cut a squared-section in a PDF file. 

After opening the file in Draw with the PDF format, I'm shown the whole
document as a big image, but I couldn't find if it's possible to select just
one part of the page and cut a section.  FWIW, the PDF was built with "Xerox
WorkCentre 7345" and uses PDF version 1.3 

So I used LibreOffice to save the PDF as TIFF, opened it in PaintShopPro
(7), and removed the section. 

But when I re-open the TIFF in LibreOffice so I can save it back to PDF,
it's displayed as a very tiny image (about 1/3 of the original as displayed
in PaintShopPro), even with Zoom=100%. 

Does someone know why Draw does this?

Is there a way to do this in LibreOffice so I can avoid the PDF -> TIFF ->
PDF shuffle? 

In this specific case, I guess that's a scanned document, so what you're
doing is probably JPEG -> TIFF -> PDF.

What about adding, in Draw, a white-filled box over the section you want
to hide?
