Yes, it would be great if OpenOffice could edit PDFs just like Word documents.
But that would be overly complex. Indeed, what many of the commenters seem to
ignore is the fundamental difference between a page description language (PDF)
which lacks all of the structural information and a word processing document.
What is however realistic is using PDFs as *graphics*. This is a common practice
in the (pdf)LaTeX world. Apparently (I'm basing this on a comment on the scribus
bug tracker), PDF starting at version 1.4 allows for such a placement of PDFs in
a PDF. This would be useful in at least the following two ways:
* use PDF as a very complete and universally compatible (but non-modifiable)
vector graphics format. (It can easily be generated by any program and then
cropped to the right dimensions)
* use full page PDFs as background and modify the contents by overpainting or
adding comments, drawings, etc.
(Of course, this would probably entail the inclusion of a pdf rendering library
for printing and displaying.)
