You are not doing anything wrong. OOo is not designed to open
Publisher files. It will handle MS Office files as you have already
found out. If you want to use OOo to print to PDF, you will need to
find someone to convert the Publisher files into one of the MS Office
formats. Then you can use to OOo to make any changes you want before
exporting to PDF.
