It depends on what you want to achieve when editing PDF. In the 
accessibility community, PDFs often cause headaches because most people 
don't know how to produce accessible documents. If your ODF source file 
is not accessible and if you forget to check the "Tagged PDF" and 
"Export bookmarks" options when exporting, you end up with a file where 
fixing the accessibility issues costs a lot of money (= price of Adobe 
Acrobat + time investment).
I don't know if importing PDF into Draw and editing it would be the 
solution for accessibility. For example, I don't know if you can check 
the reading order of text in Draw.

Best regards,

Christophe
