For those who don't know what iLovePDF is, it basically allows you to convert a literal equal copy of PDF into docx or a format more suited towards editing on LibreOffice/OpenOffice and some other things related to PDF, rarely losing some visual formatting when it does its usually related to the font but its not so often

Hm, it might not be as useful as I thought. Just tried it. It seems it wants to save them as "drawings", because even though I chose to open in LibreOffice Writer, it opens it in LibreOffice Draw. My bad.

Maybe they could improve this in the future but this and formatting not maintaining on opening PDFs is why many resort to other tools, StirlingPDF is opensource so I guess they could try finding similar solutions to opening PDF as is with all the formatting. You can force open with LibreOffice Writer but the formatting will be all messed up
