That would be up to Adobe.  Acrobat is a PDF editor/creator and it sets 
the PDF standard.  OOo can create PDF following those standards.  OOo's 
native format is the Open Document Format, ODF for short, that is set by 
the International Standards Organization.  Adobe needs to modify their 
code to import ODF files for conversion to PDF.  They do it with MS 
formats so it would not be hard for them to use the ODF format as well. 
  As long as Adobe and companies like it do not support the ODF format 
it will be harder for business to accept it.

There are work a rounds, one would be to Save-as to DOC format and then 
import in to Acrobat.
