What version of LibreOffice are you using?
That way we will know if the features you are asking about is already 
part of a more current version.

What is you OS?  Windows, Linux, IOS?

What software printer do you use?

For me, I use doPDF for Windows and CUPS-PDF on Ubuntu Linux [14.04 - 
15.10].  I have not gone through as much as you have with creating PDF 
files that have thing like fillable forms and other possibilities.

I tend to use PDF files when I use my printers in borderless paper 
sizes, since LO's printer options do not have that option[s].  Recently, 
I upgraded to 5.0.5 on this Ubuntu 15.10 laptop.  I have not tried 5.1.x 
yet to see if the features in the printing properties are no longer 
unusable.  Since this problem started several versions ago, I wonder 
what is needed to return them to being usable.
