Re: [libreoffice-users] Importing PDF problem

David,
LibreOffice allows graphics to have placeholders in case rendering such 
takes a lot of time when scrolling.  Maybe yours are turned off.  Try  
Tools -> Options -> LibreOffice Writer -> View
Under "Display", there should be a checkbox titled "Graphics and 
objects".  Make sure this is checked.
Hope this helps.
