Converting to PDF from Openoffice (Linux)

There are basically 2 options to convert an Openoffice doc into PDF:

1. Use File --> Export to PDF
2. Print to file using File --> Print, which gives you a Postscript version of the doc. Then use ps2pdf to convert to PDF.

Well, what I've seen is that method 2 gives a much better result graphically speaking (with method 1, you sometimes get mingled/not correctly spaced characters), and smaller files. So, I'd really suggest you use that for the task.
