I just tried it on my system - OOo 3.0.1 Unbuntu Linux- and export to
PDF works fine.

In the second case, did it save as a pdf or did it really save as an
odt file with .pdf on the end instead of odt?

Did you use the "Export to PDF" button on the toolbar or did you go to
File- "Export as PDF" or even File- Export then select PDF format. So
many options to do the one thing!

It's possible that trying different methods would yield different
results. For example using the toolbar button just asks for a filename
and location, but going File-"Export to PDF" lets you sepcify a whole
lot of other options... I usually just click on the button so I was
surprised to find the other method takes a different result
