OK, some comparisons which might affect your workflow.
A 3page pdf produced by the DTP program Scribus. Scribus makes good pdf's This one is all text, various fonts and comes with the font metrics embedded. The size is 196 kb
Note: for text PDF's without embedded fonts, expect the non-installed font replaced by the system default font. That is usually the cause of your scrambled LibreOffice imported PDF.
You can check using your PDF viewer as shown (evince or maybe okular).
I do use IM to join several raster images and put into a PDF wrapper. It makes smaller PDF's than Gimp and a PDF file size slightly larger than the combined size of the jpg files. Using the grayscale jpgs for the 3page example 323 kb - however worse quality and larger than the 'pure' PDF.
Bottom line, just saying, be aware of what you are converting, be it with Gimp or IM.
