Use The Gimp (Windows or Linux edition) to turn the PDF into a graphic file - note that you need to set the resolution to at least 300dpi on import if you want it to look OK later printed out.
Do your editing as text within a graphic file, using the graphic tool of your choice. Save it back out as a graphic, import that as a one-page graphic into OpenOffice, re-write it as a PDF from there.
