Hi, Chad,
To view PDF documents you can send the to the printer or use a view like
XPDF, Adobe's Acrobat Reader, or Apple's Preview. Most systems include
one or more PDF viewer and others can be downloaded for free, so it might
be considered a bit redundant to add that to OpenOffice.
PDF is a final product, like a piece of paper, and not intended for
editing. It helps to think of it as a piece of paper that hasn't yet
manifested a physical form.
Technically it's a wrapper and could really contain just about anything,
text being only one possibility of many.
That said, OpenOffice.org can export any file it can read to PDF.

No, OpenOffice can't open pdf-files. It can only export files to pdf.
AFAIK, it's not planned to implement this feature, because this is
really very difficult.
