if all you're using Open/Libre Office for is creating PDFs, you may want
to look at the PDF printer driver from Software995.com.    Its free
(with ads) but if you want to pay the $9.95, its yours for life.    I
use it for all my work, and I create a LOT of PDFs as records of
transactions in my bookkeeping role.
