Bug#176932: openoffice.org: Printing to PDF files is so counterintuitive it looks broken

[Jack Howarth]

   I'm not sure if it is in the upcoming 1.0.2, but the developer version
643c had a major rewrite of the pdf printing according to the release notes.

Hmm, thanks for your explaination Martin - I hadn't realised that creating
PDFs needs all that effort.  I think when I tried before I probably created
PS as you did without realising that it wasn't PDF.

As Jack notes, there is a new Export to PDF option in build 643, which will
be part of the 1.1 release later this year, so it will be fixed properly
then.

Until then, it might be worth making these changes:

 - Provide the packages with a preconfigured PDF converter printer that uses
   Ghostscript, and Suggest it.
 - Remove the PDF filetype option from the save as dialog (if possible)
 - Change the print dialog wording 'save as File' to 'save as Postscript
   file' or similar.

That's all fairly low priority, and I don't think I'll have the time to work
on it for a long time (perhaps the 1.1 release will happen first), but if
anyone wants to look at this I can probably point them to the right part of
the code to patch.
