PDF editor - free

I have the results of a year of family tree work as a PDF to edit - I need to add a few pages of "graphics/photos etc"
I use OpenOffice - so can convert DOC to PDF easily
But to edit the PDF - I can either convert to DOC (Not as straightforward as you may think - problems with some of the graphics when I try the on-line freebies) - then simply back to PDF or I can add pages to the PDF using free on-line editors
My problem is finding a safe/free PDF editor - that works
Any ideas ?

Am I being thick?
You will have to explain.....
If you go to the link you see a table with 4 columns.
Pick the software you want(Column 1).
Click the download(Column 3).
Use the serial number(Column 4) when you install.0 -

LibreOffice can edit PDF via its Draw package. OpenOffice can if you add the correct extension.
PDFXchange EDITOR (http://www.tracker-software.com/product/downloads) is a new free (some extra features in the paid version) PDF editor/viewer as an update to their existing PDF Viewer that has limited editing.0 -

Thanks - but does Acrobat Pro v7 run on Win 7 64bit ?
I will give it a try - but I can't see Adobe offering a freebie ?
It does say "These products were released more than seven years ago, do not run on many modern operating systems, and are no longer supported."0 -

Why not try it?
I'm running Photoshop CS2, from the same link, on Win 7 64bit. Not come across any problems, not expecting any.Move along, nothing to see.0
