Isn't the PDF import and editing functioning done through Draw?
If that is part of Draw, I'd like to see a new chapter or so on it.
This marketing page lists a PDF import extension:
http://marketing.openoffice.org/3.0/featurelistbeta.html
The page points to this (somewhat old) blog entry, which mentions the
first milestone as importing into Draw and Impress. "The next steps
are probably improvements in the Writer import, which focuses more on
editability, and less on layout."

From there I found my way to this wiki page, which shows a mockup
import options dialog giving PDF Import Options of Text Document,
Presentation, or Drawing.

This page talks about the Writer PDF Import:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Writer/ToDo/PDF_Import
It points to this issue:

Up-to-date, definitive information on this feature/extension is
certainly elusive, including whether the first release will include
PDF import into Writer or just Draw and Impress. Perhaps if I were
reading the developers' list, I might know more.
