--- Comment #17 from Patrick (volunteer) <[email protected]> ---
As I mentioned in comment #14, there is a workaround using LibreOffice's
non-native print dialog. To use the workaround, do the following steps:

1. Download and install the a nightly master build dated 31 December or later
using the steps in comment #14.

2. Launch /Applications/LibreOfficeDev.app (i.e. the default installation
location for nightly master builds).

3. Select the LibreOffice > Settings menu item (or LibreOffice > Preferences in
older macOS versions) and in the Options dialog that appears, select
LibreOfficeDev > Advanced in the sidebar on the left.

4. In the sidebar on the right, click the Open Expert Configuration button. In
the dialog that appears, search for UseSystemPrintDialog and then change
UseSystemPrintDialog to false".

5. Press the OK button to close each of the above dialogs, open your document,
and print using either selecting the File > Print menu item or pressing
Command-P.

6. The non-native print dialog should appear. Set the print settings like in
attachment #198331 and press the Print button.

One big limitation with this workaround is that the setting the non-native
print dialog's printer to "Print to File..." has some bugs and won't allow you
to change the paper size so you can only set the printer to a real printer.

So, if you only want to output a PDF file, you will need to also install a
"print to PDF" printer. I use the following free, open source "print to PDF"
printer which basically just takes any print output sent to it and writes the
output to a PDF file in your ~/PDFWriter folder:
