Both OpenOffice and Scribus are capable of *creating* high-quality PDF
files.  Unfortunately, neither program can edit already-made PDF
files.  You need to save a "master" document in the native format
before exporting PDF - that way you can re-open the master and export
again if you need to make changes.
