I have the same problem with a text document with mathematical formulae
added using OpenOffice Maths after exporting it as PDF. I have a
workaround by using 'Print to PDF' which comes with Ubuntu. Press Ctrl+P
in OpenOffice and the document should be "printed" as a PDF file stored
in /home/[your own username]/PDF folder.

This should all have been pre-installed, but if not here are the
instructions:

1. In control centre (type gnome-control-center in terminal), go to
'Personal' section and click on 'Sessions'. Under 'Startup programs',
make sure 'Print queue applet' is enabled.

2. Go to 'System' section and click 'Services', make sure 'Printer
services (cupsys)' is enabled.

3. Go to 'Hardware section' and click on 'Printing'. See if 'Print to
PDF' is under Local Printers. If not, click 'New Printer', select 'Print
to PDF file' then 'Forward', select 'Generic' then 'Forward', select
'PDF file generator' then 'Forward', change the names as you wish then
'Apply'.
