Try adding CUPs PDF as your printer of PDF files. That is what I use for Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit.
I do not know is it is the internal export system to PDF or not. If you print the PDF file using the CUPs PDF printing system and you do not get that error, then it is the exporting system internal to OOo. I would go to the Synaptic Package Manager and do a search for cups pdf. That will get you started. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org
