Save the ODT file as DOCX, then you can import it in InDesign.

Hi,

You can place a .pdf file in InDesign. Import files into InDesign from other applications

After placing the .pdf file into Indesign, it cannot be edited from within InDesign. You can however read it and change the location at which it is placed. Placed pdf in InDesign are simply linked files. The extent to which you can edit a pdf, is specified by import options (which you can explore by clicking the "Show import options" while importing).

If you want to edit it, you need some extra plugins which you can get by doing a simple google search. (Pdf2indd)

With a Microsoft word document(docx), the case is different. InDesign can import your text, formatting and styles and allows you to edit them as well.
