Print to file & select pdf. Or, you can install cups-pdf & that will
show as a printer in your printer selections.

I am however curious which version of OOo you are using that is failing
to preserve the formatting. If you'd like to send me a sample doc
directly I can test in 3.1.1 (Ubuntu and OOo standard), 3.2, and 3.3dev.
