Re: When importing PDF file into Openoffice formatting is lo
Since you state that it opens fine in LibreOffice, my suggestion would be to open it in LibreOffice and either work with it there, or save it in an OpenDocument format in LibreOffice and then open the file you just saved in OpenOffice.
The fact that it opens fine in Adobe is not a surprise, as Adobe is designed to open PDF files.
OpenOffice does not have a PDF reader section, and though there is a n extension that allows PDF's to be used in OpenOffice, there have been many reports of the extension either failing, or of other problems when opening the PDF file with the extension in place.

Re: When importing PDF file into Openoffice formatting is lo
Many thanks RusselB for the quick reply.
I am sorry but it wasn't Libre office it was Foxit that was used to open the file.
Is there any way I can open in Open office so that I can edit the file? (Remove watermark and add text)
or do I need different software?
I can edit in Openoffice to remove the watermark and align the text with the lines but only a small section of text at a time. one of my files is 60 pages and would literally take days.
It would be brilliant if I can keep original formatting, remove watermark then add text or is this wishful thinking?

The PDF fileformat was not developed for re-editing. It is a "document virtually printed on a virtual paper".
Either AOO nor LO is not PDF editor softwares. You can to make only some "cosmetics" on the PDF files.

To do what you require you may need to use an OCR program (Optical Character Recognition) to return the file to its original text, then reformat and edit as you require, using OO's Export as PDF to generate the new PDF file.
Alternately, if your edit is a self-contained unit, you can write that in OO, Export as PDF, and use a PDF utility to append it to the existing PDF file. That will leave the watermark in the original file section of the new file, which watermark has been put there by the original author for a purpose.
