No, it does not. Adobe Acrobat does not have the ability to
recreate an *.od* file from a PDF. It will create single text file.
(All the *.od* files are zip files contains several compressed files.)
Again, PDF files are not designed to be modified. (Even with PDF forms
in which information is added, the information is added to blank
spaces. All the original text remains the same.)
If you want the other party to be able to modify both the text and
graphic, I would suggest sending them *.od* files in the first place.
(This assumes you are using one of the latest 1.9.x builds.) Converting
from one file format to that of another program is always likely to
create differences in structure and appearance.
