Really? Then you cannot be using OpenOffice! There is no such button.
The only way to can use the Print dialogue to create a PDF version of
a document is if you happen to have a PDF virtual printer installed
on your system. That is quite a useful thing to have and you might
want to recommend it to others, but it is not a part of OpenOffice
and you cannot assume others will have it.

So you are saying that your Linux installation also comes with a PDF
virtual printer? Good. But - again - we cannot assume that this is so
for all users, as it is not part of OpenOffice.

Yes, I was apparently mistaken and the built in support is only via
export, while print to pdf has to be supplied by an OS resource.

So - like me - you have a PDF virtual printer installed on your
Windows system. That's wise, since creating a PDF version of your
document via the Print dialogue and a virtual printer provides
facilities not available via the built-in Export as PDF..., such as
OpenOffice's "Brochure" option.

Yes, I primarily use my Mac. I guess I assumed that Windoz was the same. Just tried on my Windoz machine and the choice came up as a printer at the top of the print dialogue. Thanks for alerting me to the difference.

Aha! So MacOS comes bundled with a virtual PDF printer? Thanks. But

Perhaps he's using a Mac, on which the print dialog for all(?) applications

I generally generate PDFs from the print dialogue: from File menu choose Print, in bottom left corner there’s a button to start the PDF dialogue which allows you to name the file and where you want to save it.
