How to import PDF?

Microsoft says that we should import PDF it as an image. OpenOffice has a plug-in, which imports PDF as a stream of textobxes, a textbox per every couple of words. This makes the document uneditable either. The true solution is to use Google Docs! Importing may loose some formatting, hyphenated words will not be reunited and you may need to delete the header/footer from every page but what you get is really editable document!
