When I open the PDF file and try to export it, all I see are graphics formats (e.g., .bpm, .jpeg, .wfm etc.). I've tried several and they are importable into my document (as a picture), but it seems that only one page was exported, which is more complicated than copying and pasting from each page of the draw object.
In the mean time, I've discovered a free conversion site, www.zamzar.com, and they were able to convert the PDF files to odt (with the images as bitmaps. Now here's another strange thing: I can use LO to open the converted file and the document looks as I expect; however, when I insert the file (insert->file) into my larger document, only the text is picked up, leaving blank spaces where the images should go. This sounds like a bug, but perhaps there is some setting that controls this. One other thing: when I open the single/converted pdf->odt document, the navigator shows draw objects and graphics objects as 0.
