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.

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.

I know how to remove the user data. I have done it several times, and
afterwards the PDF function works. I still want to know where in those
user files the setting is that enables or dis-enables the PDF function.
None of the OOo experts who have kindly suggested solutions over the
past couple of years seems able to tell me. OOo grew into this snaggle.
Perhaps it will grow out of it as well.
