Re: [libreoffice-users] PDF Editing with Libre

If you are new to using Draw to edit PDFs, when you open the PDF many 
things are initially grouped together.
You need to right click and ungroup until you can select the particular 
item you wish to edit or delete.

For more complicated PDFs Inkscape is also an option but requires 
splitting multi-page PDFs to edit and rejoining the pages.
