As far as I know OpenOffice does(did) not have an export-to-PDF feature. However LibreOffice for the 8 year old 'buntu Lucid might not have it either.

There is a PPA: for installing see: https://launchpad.net/~garhuy/+archive/u...-lts-lucid at least it is only 4 years old.

A big application and assuming yours is an older computer might not be the best choice.

Do you have ImageMagic installed, again it will be an older version 6.1.5 but if there worth a try.

Along the lines of; Put the 2 image files (say png's) in a empty folder. Open a terminal in that folder. Use the command.

Code:
convert *.png  twopage.pdf

edit: 
That was a struggle. Installed a 'buntu 10.04 VirtualMachine. Not able to install Gimp 2.6  because of missing babl/gegl packages (your 'buntu lucid is just too old) but ImageMagick was already there. So use that as above

Worried about the image size in pixels? Do a reverse check online https://pdftoimage.com/
