Of course there is - don't just concatenate the ODF. Entwine aspects of it with
the PDF. Then, if you want a proper ODF document, you can extract it from the
hybrid format.

It's not "nice" - it doubles the size.

You can have a fully renderable PDF, and data which can be reconstituted into
an ODF.

This workflow will be improved if it doesn't double the size.
