jimav, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. However, your crash report is missing. Please follow these instructions to have apport report a new bug about your crash that can be dealt with by the automatic retracer. One may execute at the Terminal: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade && sudo service apport start force_start=1
If you are running the Ubuntu Stable Release you might need to enable apport in /etc/default/apport and restart. Now reproduce the crash, then open your file manager, navigate to your /var/crash directory and open the crash report you wish to submit. If this fails you will have to open a terminal and file your report with 'ubuntu-bug /var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash' where _my_crash_report.crash is the crash you would like to report. If you get an error that you aren't allowed to access this report you will have to file it with 'sudo ubuntu-bug /var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash'. Please follow https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibreOfficeBugWrangling when you file this crash report so the necessary information is provided. I'm closing this bug report since the process outlined above will automatically open a new bug report which can then dealt with more efficiently. Thank you for your understanding.

There is something wrong with LO's pdf export specifically, because printing to the cups-pdf PDF- generator produces a usable PDF file (also less than half the size), and the document can be printed directly from LO. The problem seems related to images. The test document contains a small (8K) jpeg image. Steps to reproduce: 1. sudo apt-get install cups-pdf 2. lowriter Test.odt 3. Export-to-PDF (produces Test.pdf) 4. Print to the "PDF" device (produces $HOME/PDF/Test.pdf) 5. Print the document directly to a real postscript printer (works) 6. lpr $HOME/PDF/Test.pdf (works) 7. lpr Test.pdf (crashes my printer, YMMV) Note the file sizes: Test.odt - 26K Test.pdf (exported from LO) - 180K Test_PrintedToCupsPdf.pdf - 75K As you can see, the export-to-pdf function produces a file more than twice as large as cups-pdf (and, for me at least, too large to print). Suggest figuring out what LO is doing differently than cups-pdf and consider changing to what cups-pdf does.
