Sahan, if what you really want is an editable version of the document rather
than a graphic, although there are programs out there that can interpret the
contents of some kinds of PDF files, I'm quite sure none of them are able to
work from a scanned document (i.e., graphic) via PDF to editable text. The
only exception I can think of is if the scanning was done with a really good
OCR application. If so, I'd be very curious to know about it! Even that is
not enough, if the reason you want Calc is to pick up tabular data from a
PDF into a spreadsheet. That's been discussed here before and I'm pretty
sure nobody came up with a way.

Have you considered scanning documents into a bitmap format such
as PNG or JPEG? Then you can insert the documents into Calc using
Insert > Picture > From File. Browse to the file, and click open.
I was able to insert both of these formats (PNG and JPEG [.jpg])
into a calc file. I used separate sheets for each one.
