The glib answer from the saur-chasm is, “Get a Mac”[0], as PDF is one of the native file formats in that environment. I’d thought that PDF was an option in Open Orifice as well, but that seems not to be the case; I think it is with Libre Office (“and you can export your work in many different formats including PDF.” it sez in the web site at libreoffice.org), with which I’ve replaced Open Office, and it may be a long-term better solution for other reasons, as it’s a fork of Open Office from 2010, first released in 2011, and has a bright future ahead of it.
