That is probably the best way to get PDF but as I desperately want
hyperlinks in my PDF files more than anything else I'm quite happy with
using

abiword --to=latex document.abw
pdflatex document.latex

Which gives me my document.pdf with hyperlinks included. At the moment
the Abiword LaTeX exporter doesn't support all that many other features
(although table export was only recently added to CVS) but gives me
exactly what I need.
