Openoffice has supported writing PDFs since 1.1. See here.

For what it's worth, I've been using 2.0 personally since it was an alpha on 4 different computers, and I've installed it on about two dozen other computers without a hitch. If you ran into a problem installing it, I'd try shutting down all other programs before installing it, in case something that's running on your computer is interfering with it.

Thanks to both of you. I finally figured it out on my version. File|Print and the print to file through the PDF converter. I never would have found that if you all hadn't pointed me in the right direction. Even knowing what I was doing, I couldn't find that documented.

A quick test seemed to work. I'll play with it some more tomorrow.

I take it from some of the comments that it may be more elegant in later versions?

The ooorg installer can get complicated and even stubborn when one wants to install multiple copies/versions of the program on the same box. I HAVE seen that.
