Edit pdf file in lilbre

  • 772

I received a pdf file which was created in Adobe. Now I had to edit this pdf file. I opened it in LibreOffice. But either the page or the text was not in the correct format. The texts were exceeding the page boundary like this : enter image description here

So, when I'm saving it as pdf after necessary edits, I am losing those texts outside the page. I tried to change the format of text from Fromat > Text > adjust to contour.

Nothing happened and honestly I don't have a clue about why this is happening, what to do or how to change spacing/bullets properties or anything in Ubuntu.

Please help.
