MaxFox's suggestion (comment #32) did not work for me. In addition, no
amount of file permission changes worked for me.  I am using Ubuntu 9.04
x86_64 (2.6.28-11-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP).

However, the following did work. I changed the line #85 in
/etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.cupsd

- /usr/lib/cups/backend/cups-pdf Px,
+ /usr/lib/cups/backend/cups-pdf Ux,

Then 'sudo /etc/init.d/apparmor reload'

I do not know whether this solution is more or less secure than
previously mentioned AppArmor changes nor did I try them. I did not find
much documentation on the AppArmor website that explained the difference
between U and P. That being said, I am able to keep $HOME set to 0700
and $HOME/PDF set to 0700.
