You can create pdf files in Openoffice by exporting any file you create as a pdf file. Normally you cannot edit these files (or any other pdf files) already created. For reading pdf files you can download the Adobe pdf file reader which doesn't cost anything. I don't know about Windows but there are several other pdf readers (for linux at least) that let you read pdf files if you don't want to use the Adobe reader. Openoffice 3 (beta version) has an extension called PDF Import. I think this extension only works on version 3 but I could be wrong. It will allow you to import pdf files, view them and edit them. Otherwise you may have to buy Adobe's PDF program although there may be other possibilities. Maybe someone more familiar with Windows can give you alternative solutions.
