(Get the code!)
I've been having the a similar problem but with Impress. I need to export to PDF to show my slides on the Universities lecture theater computers because they do not have OpenOffice installed (just some weired product call Microsoft Office or something like that). Anyway, in the PDF's regular numerals are randomly replaced by arabic-script numerals, both within text boxes and within equations. Very strangely objects copied and pasted from one page to another may have arabic script on one page and regular on another. There seems to be no rhyme or reason - I am not using any other non-western scripts anywhere in the docs. I tried the 'Print to PDF' workaround suggested by tpcchu but that gives me a second, presumably unrelated problem with pages being randomly either landscape or rotated to portrait - extreme annoyance. I have a whole term of lectures planned using OpenOffice impress, I would really like suggestions/
Thanks
