Yes, there should be some free [and easy] methods of converting PDF back
to an editable document. MS Word 2000/2003 ".doc" format would be OK
since OOo reads/writes that format very well, and MS users will have
no troubles excepting it as well. It would be nice to see converters go
directly to ODF formats instead of MS ones, since ODF is the
International default, while MS is just a want-to-be.
In a sense, what you're wishing for already exists.
http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/pdfimport is not just
for importing PDF into Draw fro minor editing. This extension also adds
in the Hybrid PDF functionality.
"A hybrid PDF/ODF file is a PDF file that contains an embedded ODF
source file. Hybrid PDF/ODF files will be opened in OpenOffice.org as an
ODF file without any layout changes."
So, if you use OpenOffice.org plus this extension, and create Hybrid
PDFs, you will be able to "open" the PDF and edit the embedded ODF file
and export it again as a Hybrid PDF.
