Linux.com reports that OpenOffice will offer PDF editing in the next version.
Linux.com :: OpenOffice.org extension will add PDF editing
This is interesting in that OpenOffice has been in the forefront of PDF support: It offered “export to PDF” in previous versions, which was available in Microsoft Word only through third-party plugins.
What’s even more interesting is so-called “hybrid PDFs”, which embed the code of the source OpenOffice file, to allow round-trip editing.
Note that editing of existing non-hybrid PDFs only allows changing a line at a time. This method preserves formatting, but you wouldn’t want to use it to make wholesale changes. I think it would be useful to import PDFs as normal OpenOffice Write documents, which could then be reformatted into a new PDF if desired.
