Cannot reproduce with default Cups-PDF printer created during RPM install.

How your "pdf" printer was created ?

Can you try with this command :

/usr/sbin/lpadmin -p Cups-PDF -v cups-pdf:/ -m CUPS-PDF.ppd -E

firefox print

Works correct for me. Installed via yum from testing.

cups-pdf-2.6.1-6.fc20.x86_64

No change :-(

But:

I could solve my problem by removing the cups-pdf printer and recreating it again by system-config-printer. So I think I made previously some errors. You may close the ticket as "no error".
