I know how to export a PDF out of OO but how do you import a PDF for editing? If you don't mind windows / closed source I use PDF Exchange. If the doc is only a 1 page doc you could try inkscape but you may have issues with the hyperlink. If you find a solid OSS solution please let us know as I have been casually looking for years.
