One interesting feature of the extension is the option to create hybrid documents that consists of a pdf and odf part. Import takes relatively long but the results are surprisingly good for a beta. PDF documents can be imported using the Open file dialog. Just keep in mind that the current version of the PDF Import Extension supports layout and not editing. Plans are to concentrate on editing capabilities in the next development step concentrating on Writer. This naturally means that Draw and Impress have to be installed to work with the PDF Import Extension. The PDF document will be imported into Draw and Impress to preserve the layout of the documents. The extension is currently labeled beta meaning that it does not provide full PDF support yet but can very well be used to edit small portions of a pdf document. Sun's PDF Import Extension for Open Office 3 and Star Office 9 adds pdf support to both office programs.
