pdf was designed to be a one way creation. Some app (word processor, etc, etc) creates the pdf. It was never intended that pdfs be opened for editing.
Many apps reverse engineer the creation process so that the pdf can be edited. With varying degrees of success. As you have found out Word is not perfect in opening your pdf. The only way to know how good LibreOffice will be is to test it. But don't expect 100% success.
