You can't. The PDF import extension allows editing in Draw but its limited http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/en/project/pdfimport .

Select the content from a pdf viewer, copy, and paste it into writer.

Somewhat cumbersome, but it works most of the time.

Dear Lester,

I'm pretty sure that your reply is not in line with suggestion from peterrotts!

It's quite normal that you give back to community the knowledge you find as a gesture.

So he is actually asking you to post the link pointing to your solution.

And by the way, please remove your big fonts. Thank you.

Why not? This forum is to share ideas and help others -there may be others out there with the same problem as you. "I know the answer but don't expect me to tell you what is is" is hardly helpful is it?
And if you have solved the problem it will help others searching the forum to add SOLVED to the subject (Provided you actually tell us how you solved it)

ok ok!

search the google if you have something to convert from windows (office) to linux (open office).

the keyword you must type at the search engine must contain "converter"

one site that i found is freefileconvert.com

it convert different file format...
