do you men the Macro you produced with the macro recorder ?
The macro recorder uses the dispatcher, and the dispatcher is not 
reliable as I already mentioned.

Yes there is:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Category:Tutorial
and specially the export to pdf:

maybe you should try another  distribution like Suse, Fedora or Ubuntu 
(but don't try the Unity desktop its terrible. Use the XFCE 
desktop(Xubuntu) instead, it is similar to Gnome2 but much lighter and 
faster)   .
The problem with Debian is, that the stable version is to old, and the 
testing and unstable is to unstable.

but there is still a lot of Java code in LO. They are working hard to 
translate it into C++ code, but it will take a while.

The LO code contains about 6000000 lines of code. it is not easy to 
think of all the functions, if you ad some new code.
 So some bugs are unavoidable.
