Bug Description
As per bug #147551, when the default target directory is changed in cups-pdf.conf, cups-pdf silently fails to print anything until a corresponding change is made in the usr.sbin.cupsd AppArmor profile. The "Out" key in cups-pdf.conf is preceded by commented notes about the usage, but the AppArmor requisition goes unmentioned, apparently causing confusion among users. I suggest something like the attached patch be applied to cups-pdf.conf to document this.

Actually, this is already documented in the README that ships with the package as imported from Debian:
CAVEAT (UBUNTU)
AppArmor prevents outputting PDF documents to non-default directories d/usr.sbin. cupsd> must also be edited, whenever the cups-pdf. conf>.
so </etc/apparmor.
above defaults get changed in </etc/cups/
However, I'm not sure whether Ubuntu ships all the included documentation when it rebuilds the packages it has imported.
