Just as a thought, have you tried Abiword (with the plugins)?

When doing a "save as", Abiword has a dropdown menu of formats in which
to save documents, and .pdf is amongst them. You can open a document in
a number of formats (.doc being one of them).

This is generally the best course to follow if OpenOffice is too large
or it doesn't work as Abiword has a significantly lower "overhead" as
OOo.
