This problem with Apache's Open Office is why I moved to
LibreOffice. While I've only used it for about two years and
sometimes have trouble finding out how to handle some issues, on
the whole it is better than Apache's Open Office and Microsoft Word.
Because I deal with a lot of people who use Microsoft Word I have
to save my files as *.doc and that works for all the people who I
work with, even the Mac users, so I suggest you check out
LibreOffice to solve this problem.
Best,
Allen

To my knowledge OpenOffice doesn't read pdf's. you need a pdf
reader.
sometimes your browser will do it, Firefox does; trick is to
point the browser to the file.
Don't know if you are using Windows or something else but there
are plenty of free pdf readers.
You probably 'exported' your story to pdf while you actually
'saved' your other tales in OpenOffice format (.ods).
