Hi David, it's actually quite simple if you get familiar with Draw, it simply treats blocks of text in the PDF as a section or a text box. If you have the PDFimport extension installed just open OOo and go file>open>foo.pdf. Use the standard Draw tools from there. Click on a line of text reveals the text box, double clicking puts your cursor in the text box and ready to edit.
