On Linux, you can open a pdf file with a pdf viewer, as example with
evince, select what you want to copy, do a right click and select copy.
Then in writer you can copy it. Only the text will be copied, and you
will loose most of the page layout and things like links. Also, it will
not work if the pdf is copy protected.

For the pictures, the viewer comes with a set of console tools like
pdfimages that can extract the raw pictures, or pdftoppm that can
extract the whole pdf as a set of pictures. Be aware that images into a
pdf can be a real mess, because they can be rotated, mirrored, or
split into small pieces. In the 2 first cases, convert can be used to
rotate and mirror back the pictures, in the last case, only pdftoppm
can let you extract the pictures.
