I just opened a PDF in LibreOffice, and immediately exported it to PDF, without making any changes.

I deliberately chose a PDF with very few images, simple formatting and very few fonts.

The output PDF differed materially from the original:

- not only was the font different, but the original fixed-width font had been replaced with a proportional font

- multiple lines that had consistent horizontal alignment in the original were now jagged

- numbers that were in a column are now no longer directly below each other
