[ooo-build] PDF export well documented bug and urgent to fix

Hi Everyone,

in the past month many people and me post many information on this bug
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=615812

that is about wrong pdf exports on Novell/OpenSuSE/Go-OO/Ubuntu/... 
group of development.

The PDF export is from his release on a too useful OOo function that 
most people use and that they cannot renounce. People are sending many 
pdf documents all over the world and many other people print PDFs with 
Acrobat Reader...

The main trouble is (pointed out using ghostscript pdfopt):
"File has an invalid xref entry:  5.  Rebuilding xref table."

The bug title is a bit too specific (Acrobat 8.x), but the problem is 
generic: for all Acrobat versions and, however, *the pdf is wrong!*

A bug on it is a big drama! And only for this I decide to underline it 
to your attention.

Thank you for all you could make.

Have a nice day,

Carlo
