Is there no way I can get the PDF back into the -writer?

Maybe hand editing is doable for a one page document but not for some of the longer ones.

All this discussion and no one mentions the Hybrid PDF option?

Assuming you are the one creating your documents, drawings etc., and exporting to PDF, add a check next to "Embed OpenDocument file" when you create your PDF. Presto magic, next time you open the PDF with LibreOffice, you can edit and work on the original document used to create the PDF.

This doesn't help with 3rd party PDFs, but it works perfectly for your own documents.

How does that possibly help a man recover files from PDFs created a long time ago?
