In order to create a PDF with a TOC/index you'll have to set heading 
styles to the appropriate paragraphs.

Opening a PDF with LibO won't go anywhere as the tool for that is Draw 
which can't set styles for a text processor.

I can't see a way to do that quickly, I'm afraid: a copy/paste from the 
PDF document to Writer is possible but you'll have to fix a lot of 
things (eg. useless carriage returns) and apply heading styles by hand. 
On a 400+ pages document this a big PITA.

Hopefully someone else will come with brighter ideas.
