[opensuse] Is Xsane exporting incorrect PDF?

I'm attempting to edit a scanned into PDF format and open it in LibreOffice but keep
getting an error "General Input/Output Error". I have opened other PDF documents
and been able to edit them (some required password).

LibreOffice 3.5.4.2
Xsane 0.998
openSuSE 12.2-M3
KDE 4.8.1
Scanner: Brother MFC-J6710DW via wired network

I've looked in /var/logs but been unable to find anything related. I have been able
to work around this problem by opening the PDF in Inkscape and using a text overlay
but that isn't a very nice solution.

Does anyone have a comment or suggestion of how to get this PDF into a usable
format? Is this a known problem with Xsane's exporting? So far I haven't been able
to find it with Google.

Thanks, Tom
