Libre or Open Office.

You want LibreOffice (a supported fork of OpenOffice). OpenOffice, was
discontinued by Corel back in 2011 and dumped, er, donated to the Apache
Foundation (and why OpenOffice became Apache OpenOffice) to keep
available an archived copy of that old software.


You mean Oracle, rather than Corel, but otherwise correct.


1986 StarDivision StarOffice
1999 Sun Microsystems buys StarDivision.
StarOffice becomes OpenOffice.
2009 Oracle buys Sun.
Some forking happens. OpenOffice to Apache OpenOffice.
OpenOffice to LibreOffice etc.

And don't expect miracles when editing PDF. A person should
always attempt to get source (.doc or .docx) when editing
documents, as this gives the most accurate reproduction
and ability to edit. Editing a derivative such as a PDF
is bound to have cases where an object cannot be edited
when you really needed it.
