I have a macro that saves/exports the pdf's useing the following
OpenOffice function:
oDoc.storeToURL( cDestURL, oExportOptions )

Maybe the option to tell the PDF to use the real fonts is available inside
the Export Options given to the function storeToURL(), i'll do a little
research on that.

Printing and diverting is not really a suitable solution because i  have
to convert 280 doc Documents :)
