If you think of PDF as paper that hasn't taken a physical form yet, that helps.

It's not really designed or intended to be a format for editing, but instead is a wrapper for distributing things to be printed.
Nearly anything can be put into that wrapper, not just text.

The question does make me wonder if there isn't a need for something, maybe a typesetting format, in between PDF (an end format) and OpenDocument (an editing format).

Good morning,

New user of OpenOffice here and I am trying to figure out if I can edit .pdf documents using OpenOffice. I have been through the Knowledge Base, Help Files, and whatever else I could find that may contain help or this topic, but have struck out so far. I have several documents in .pdf that I need to edit, and so far have been unable to do it.

Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
