That's correct, though I believe there are some third-party readers and components. The RAVE reporting tool, for example, includes a PDF conversion. However, if you want to edit a PDF you will need Adobe's expensive Acrobat, the install of which can be fraught with problems. In comparison to using Word and Adobe's Distiller (part of Acrobat), the generation of the PDF file in OOo is an order of magnitude faster and does convert links (URLs). Very impressive.
There does not seem to be anyway, though, in OOo to parameterize the PDF generation e.g., include links or notes, etc.). Jerry > AFAIK only Adobe can really read and edit PDF.
