well, I had to modify a pdf for work. imported it in libreoffice - it worked. 
Kind off. Like all vertical writings were damaged, transparent areas became 
solid, backgrounds lost, icons washed out.

And after an export and re-opening the you did not get what you saved.

A complete clusterfuck.

Then I tried inkscape - and that one was a breeze.

For your problem: maybe because your pdf is some mashed together stuff that 
'looks' like one big graphic, instead of text on a graphical background?
