I use export to PDF constantly for sharing files with others, as long
as they will not need to edit them. It works far better than exporting
to Word format.

However, one thing I cannot do is set a control in an editable PDF to a
specific font. It appears to allow me to set a font for the control -
and it does keep that font for the control as long as it is an .odt
document - but the export to PDF converts the font to Arial. 

This renders the export to PDF useless for me when I want to create an
editable PDF. I am trying to create editable PDFs for use in class
homework and examinations in linguistics. We need specific fonts in
order to display the IPA characters. Since I cannot specify the font
for the control a lot of the characters do not appear when the student
tries to select the answer.

Otherwise export to PDF is a wonderful and useful feature of OOo.
