Another solution is that you could start a generic library for
handling formatted text documents. It will certainly be harder, and
take more time, but the end result will be much better and it won't
require having OpenOffice installed (a rather huge thing to have as a
dependency).

We already have a spreadsheet library:

Something similar could be done for handling the class of formatted
documents, like pdf, doc, html, etc.

FPVectorial has support for PDF reading, but only from a vectorial
drawing point of view, nevertheless it's code and documentation which
explain the PDF format could be reused. I actually have documentation
in portuguese about the PDF format.
