That is really my pleasure. For some reasons, I have been working around PDF 
export to customize it being in behalf of my customer. When I was working with 
a debugger looking into PDF export, I coincidently read your initial e-mail, 
which gave me a good intention.

As NoOp has suggested in his/her previous e-mail,

In case of data corruption in the user settings data, removal of it sometimes 
makes OpenOffice.org come back to work.

 1. Exit OpenOffice.org.
 2. Exit Quickstarter. [1]
 3. With Explorer, open the folder in which the user settings data resides. [2]
     e.g. C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application 
Data\OpenOffice.org<release>\
 4. Move the folder "user" to the Desktop or somewhere else.
 5. Start OpenOffice.org and set it up again, i.e. accepting the license, ...

During executing File - Export as PDF, settings specified by a user in the dialog "PDF Options" 
will be stored in the file [3] as the default settings for later use. In addition to the settings, lots of 
settings are kept in the "registry" or "config" folders. Corruption of the settings data 
might cause malfunctions of OpenOffice.org.

If that works for you, please keep the folder with the corruption data for 
identifying the primary cause. I, however, would not recommend uploading the 
content of the folder in your web site since the folder might includes 
sensitive information.
