Thanks, Chris.  I just tried it.  The latest development version available 
from the Kubuntu repository, 3.3.5.

Of the five PDFs I tried it on, only one came out even slightly editable.  The 
others were missing a lot of text.

True, these were complex PDFs.  So I tried it again on a simple PDF made from 
an invoice I'd prepared using OO.o.

Less than 10% of the text was imported; generally the first letter or two of 
each line appeared; nothing else.
