Reading PDF is much much harder than writing it. 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.
