First off: I'm using Ubuntu's OpenOffice, installed from repositories,
fully up to date... I experience the same issue as many others here have
reported with embedded OpenOffice.org Math formulas, but I don't appear
to have any issues with embedded tables. The problem seems to be
completely random, as I tried exporting the same document several times
in a row, both with the 'Export Directly as PDF' button on the toolbar,
and the 'File > Export as PDF' menu option... both methods produce
errors, though the latter seems to produce far fewer errors when
selecting the "PDF/A-1a" option (which turns off the default option of
'Create PDF Form, of type FDF').

When I try exporting the odt file listed in comment #1, the file exports
normally, and as I would have expected it to. However, when exporting
the test document in comment #28, it produces erroneous characters,
though not very many (see attachment: Test2.pdf).
