Hi :) From looking at files generated by other people i think it's easier to generate Pdfs in LibreOffice/OpenOffice. From actually playing with various programs they seem to be just as easy but LO/AOO/OOo/"and the rest" seem to have easier access to more options and better defaults. Regards from Tom :)
