Comment 79 for bug 244353

First off: I'm using Ubuntu's OpenOffice, installed from repositories, fully up to date... I experience the same issue as many others here have reported with embedded OpenOffice.org Math formulas, but I don't appear to have any issues with embedded tables. The problem seems to be completely random, as I tried exporting the same document several times in a row, both with the 'Export Directly as PDF' button on the toolbar, and the 'File > Export as PDF' menu option... both methods produce errors, though the latter seems to produce far fewer errors when selecting the "PDF/A-1a" option (which turns off the default option of 'Create PDF Form, of type FDF').

When I try exporting the odt file listed in comment #1, the file exports normally, and as I would have expected it to. However, when exporting the test document in comment #28, it produces erroneous characters, though not very many (see attachment: Test2.pdf).
