The only way I know to make the file uneditable
is to use Acrobat Professional or maybe try to find
a password adding program. If you give the file a
password to be entered for edit, then do not give
the password to anyone.

When you first scan it into OpenOffice, it scans as a
picture. You can add text to the document and save it
as a pdf. When you scan original documents, you don't
want them to be editable, or at least very difficult.
Much as photographs from a film camera with negatives
is permissable in court as evidence. However,
pictures from a digital camera are not.
If I scan a clients divorce decree and save it as a
pdf, I don't want it to be easily editable, however,
still accessible.
