KOffice can read PDF files since a while and the support has been improved quite a bit recently - still nowhere close to the abilities of other input filters, but usually better than raw text using pdf2txt. KOffice can then work with these files and (again if you have a recent version) You can actually store the result in open document format for it to be used in OpenOffice. I would recommend compiling koffice from source if you can - or at least find a recent version compiled by someone else for rhel. The KDE versions that come with CentOS are fairly old. Peter.
