Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that OpenOffice.org can edit a PDF directly (is there such a tool?) only that it can create PDF. Here's my revised version: There are a number of FLOSS tools that can read PDFs, e.g. xpdf. There are also a number of FLOSS tools that can write PDF, e.g. OpenOffice.org. See 'man -k pdf' or google for more examples. Regardless, if MS pushes forth OpenXML, wouldn't that be a Good Thing (TM)?
