How to open PDF's with Open Office?

Using Open Office 3.1.1 for Mac (OS X 10.5.8) and trying to open PDF's. Found the Sun PDF import extension, downloaded but can't seem to get the thing to work - am i just being daft? Tried opening the .zip file with OO as it says in the 'Comments' on the download page only to get a big list of filters that doesn't contain PDF or ODF/PDF Hybrid. If i unzip the download, which file do i use?

Open Open Office and chose File->Open and there change file type to PDF (default is all files), this is the only way I can open an pdf with open office (after I add Sun PDF import extension!).

The success of the import heavily depends on the documents complexity, have a look at oo-wiki pages. PDF import is beta v 0.4 at the moment
