I have tried to import a PDF on Windows 7 the original work was done on
OpenOffice but it fails what steps are needed.
There is a PDF import filter. It relies on you having GhostScript
installed, it then converts your PDF into an EPS file. That implies you
can only see a poor quality bitmap image in the document, and if you
want to print you will need to be using the direct PostScript option and
be printing to a PostScript printer.
Although I have found PDF import useful, the last time I tried it, it
seemed to get the bounding box wrong.
The filter is at:

that page is linked from the OP CD filters page.
