The 1.0.x openoffice does not have a real pdf creator. It prints to
ghostscript, which generates the pdf. As OOo 1.0 is discontinued, I'll
recommend you to upgrade to 1.1.1b from openoffice.org. It has a button
on the menu bar which can generate a pdf with 2 clicks...

This is weird, though. I did a pdf on 1.0.2 on rh9 this morning, and
tried reading it on a w98 with Acrobat 5... it worked.
