Your file is a PDF. OpenOffice is not designed to open PDFs. Use a web search to locate an application which will open PDFs on your operating system. If you use MacOS (this information is missing from your forum signature) the application is called Preview and it is pre-installed on every Apple computer. PDFs are intended to be viewed or printed.
It is not possible to edit a PDF with Writer.
[Solved] Scan lands in Draw instead of Writer
If this solved your problem please go to your first post use the Edit ☐ button and add [Solved] to the start of the Subject field. Select the green checkmark icon at the same time.

I agree with MrProgrammer - your file is a PDF and should be opened with a PDF reader; if we knew your Operating System (Windows, Mac, linux etc) we might be able to indicate which PDF reader was installed on your computer.
