I'm using openoffice.org version 3.0.1 on Mac OS X but I think this should work in all versions.

First, you select File > Printer Settings ...
Then a popup appears and you press buttoan labeled Options ....
In there you select Notes and deselect Drawing.
Finally, you print to your PDF printer and you get the slides with the notes below.

Good luck !!!

Interesting. I don't see either "Notes" or "Drawing" in my Printer Options dialog. It has three sections: "Quality" (Default, Grayscale or Black & white), "Print (Page name, Date, Time, Hidden pages) and "Page Options" (Default. Fit to page, Tile pages, Brochure and Paper tray form printer settings).

This is 3.0.0 on Windows. Would that account for the difference?

Corye: thanks for the suggestion, but how do I upload the notes to go with the slides? So far I could only get the slides up there ...

Another possibility (also tested on a Mac):
Tools > Options > openoffice.org Impress (to expand the node in the tree on the left) > Print (and then select notes in the contents section).
I think this selects default options for all the presentations but it can be a way to solve your problem.

Best luck !!

Thanks, Glyph. This is, alas, yet another way to get to the form I described. I guess that Windows just doesn't implement this functionality. Or puts it somewhere I can't find it ...
