Exporting to PDF

[Lynette Britton <ly...@gmail.com>]

I've used Open Office for years and recently put my computer back to
factory condition so had to reload Open Office.  When I try to export to
PDF I keep getting a Filter Dialog Box with options for font, etc that I
have no clue about.  It saves to a bunch of symbols and letters.  When I
click on Help in the Dialog Box, it tells me this happens when trying to
export for the first time. Something about endoding.  HELP!!  How can I
export and save my files to PDF? I've considered switching to Libre, but
suspect I'll get the same frustrating Dialog Box.

Thank you
