I think the reason for not having those extensions transferred "automatically" was due to licensing reasons. I think I remember, that LibO only wants to have truly open extensions.

PDF is a format to describe a graphical layout of a document. And for graphics, Draw is the correct component. It is not meant to edit a file extensively. You can add a few lines of text in a form (I did this just last week) and it works well. If you need to change the whole text, just ask the original creator for a editable file.
