After installing replacement drive and Devuan 3 I was able to use LibreOffice Draw to view the corrupted pdf and extract the images I had originally modified in Inkscape. I was working on a mock A Level physics paper when my hard drive started to fail.
LibreOffice also scored highly with its Draw application. The other issue was lack of image compression - this is where LibreOffice scores highly, even over MS Word 2019 on a works machine the compression function would not hold because of Network Office Templates which didn't meet our service needs. docx file then open up in TextMaker 2018 to find out the % value of the point spacing. The two shortfalls with SoftMaker Office were font spacing which used % instead of points which meant typing a line of text in LibreOffice Writer, applying the font spacing Pts needed for student with low vision, saving the document as a. It's called Equation Editor in SoftMaker Office but is much better than the Windows equivalent which is basically a cut down version of MathType. The Windows version has an old but fully functioning MathType the current version of which costs £69 per year per machine. The workflow was much better than with MS Office and I could also save to pdf. This meant I could put say SoftMaker Office on two Windows machines, two GNU/Linux machines, and one on a Mac.
Sadly I can't vote! During lockdown working from home, only a few months earlier, I had purchased a 5 machine licence of SoftMaker Office for just under £24.
