I have committed a fix for the various bugs when using the "Print to File..."
printer in the non-native print dialog. The fix will be in tomorrow's (01
January 2025) master nightly builds and with the fix you will no longer need to
install a "print to PDF" printer.

Ignore the steps in comment #17 and use the following steps instead:

1. Download and install the a nightly master build dated 01 January 2025 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 Printer to "Print to PDF...",
set the print settings like in attachment #198331 [details] and press the
"Print to File..." button.
