Perhaps I misunderstand the question completely. I expect it to be easy to create a macro that exports a document in PDF format. This, together with info from Louis Suarez-Potts in another thread can be what you are looking for: "Like its Microsoft counterpart, OpenOffice has a macro language. You can start up OpenOffice from the Linux or Windows command-line prompt with instructions to to run a particular macro, and you can even pass a filename as a parameter to that macro. Adding the -invisible switch to the command line tells OpenOffice to start up without the graphical user interface (GUI)."
