With OpenOffice closed, find and delete any lock files on your computer.  These 
have a form like .~lock.fred.odt# where fred is the filename and the type will 
vary according to the OpenOffice application

I am aware that OpenOffice Draw can do minor edits to .pdf files, but it is not 
intended for major pdf file revision.  You should look for another tool if that 
is what you intend.
