What about "pdfedit"? It can be found in the repo's.

File > Import can be used to open PDF files but it depends how the file was made as to how much you can edit.

OpenOffice.org / Libre Office can import PDF files and edit them too but I think you have to have a plugin (which is in Ubuntu repos IIRC).

Thank you, Tom. I tried pdfedit but it doesn'work with my file. I need
to extract (copy from the .pdf file and paste on another file) sections
of a text which is probably an image in .pdf format.
Still not successfull. Sob.

I can't find the IIRC repos in Ubuntu.
Even pdfedit on Ubuntu doesn't work.

So, Still unsuccessfull. Sob.

If this is image you need OCR software (optical recognition), so Inkscape
have no chances here.
