I think you need to look for PDFedit in the repo's (Synaptic)  ;)

I believe Okular is in the default KDE install.

1. Opem your pdf in Okular
2. Tools > Text Selection Tool
3. Edit >Select All
4. Edit > Copy
5. Open OOWriter
6. Edit > Paste

Hmmm ... PDFedit and Okular sound like good solutions, but there is also a PDF import filter available for both OO.o Writer and AbiWord. I use AbiWord to import PDF files, on the rare occasion that I find the need to.
