I was able to edit a PDF document with it just now. I'm currently running
LibreOffice version 6.3.4.2.0 - this is the latest version for Fedora 31.

It was pretty straight forward. I opened a PDF document I happened to
have lying around with LibreOffice Writer and edited it just like any
other Writer document. Then I exported it as a PDF document. xpdf opened
it without any complaints and showed my test edit where I expected to see
it.

The only surprise was that when I saved the edited document by clicking
'Save', it was written to disk with an odg extension rather than the odt
I expected.

What did you do that was different to the above?
Do you have an earlier version of OfficeLibre?
