Hi David
I couldn't reproduce this issue using your example file, is this reproducible with a newly created user?.

related packages:
===========
openoffice.org 1:2.3.0-1ubuntu5
openoffice.org-base 1:2.3.0-1ubuntu5
openoffice.org-common 1:2.3.0-1ubuntu5
openoffice.org-core 1:2.3.0-1ubuntu5
openoffice.org-gnome 1:2.3.0-1ubuntu5
openoffice.org-gtk 1:2.3.0-1ubuntu5
openoffice.org-writer 1:2.3.0-1ubuntu5

Thanks in advance

I tried it as another user on my machine and it works fine! Strange.

After doing that I can add that it crashes before it gives you the 1st screen to choose the options for exporting the pdf.

Hi David
It could be caused by an incompatible configuration or something in your home directory, i couldn't quite understand your last comment, probably it's too early in the morning here, but could you please tell me, if it's definitely not reproducible with another environment but the one you use when you first observe this issue?.

Thanks

To clarify. I logged in as another user which is setup on this machine, using the same file as before I was able to successfully export it to pdf.

Since I was able to do this, I now know that when it crashes for me (logged in as my user), it fails to load the 1st screen after clicking on "Export as PDF" rather than during the creation process as I thought.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. This particular bug has already been reported and is a duplicate of bug 131526, so it is being marked as such. A patch for this has been provided already and an update may be available shortly. The current best workaround seems to be using another Gnome theme, e.g. "Human".
Feel free to continue to report any other bugs you may find.
