Hi, Most printshops do the RGB-CMYK conversion themselves, normal home/office printing devices take in RGB.
If your friend wants to enter the field of "real" DTP (and does not have/want the cash to shell out to Adobe) he could go for Scribus, a cross-platform FOSS DTP application. Scribus imports styles and some formatting from OOo/LibO. The learning curve (in DTP) is quite steep, and you're entering a minefield of professional techniques and jargon which is best handled by the printshops - unless one wants to take the plunge themselves. The easiest would be to place the LibO-RGB.pdf in an image frame in Scribus (each page separately) and let Scribus render the file to Scribus-CMYK.pdf. There are also a bunch of command-line tools which can assist in such a conversion, but for them to be useful one has to know exactly which parameters to use.
