Public bug reported:
I have read that the default location where pdf file produced by cups-
pdf are placed is in ~/PDF. I had this directory as a symbolic link on
my system pointing to ~/Documents/PDF. This produced the following error
in the log:
Mon Nov 14 11:55:38 2011 [ERROR] failed to set file mode for PDF file (non
fatal) (/home/cristian/PDF/Pagina_di_test.pdf)
Mon Nov 14 11:55:38 2011 [STATUS] PDF creation successfully finished (cristian)
note: "/home/cristian" is my home directory, the PDF folder and the
target directory "/home/cristian/Documents/PDF" have full rwx permission
for all users (changed on purposte to test this error).
Please note that even if the log said " PDF creation successfully
finished" no pdf file was produced.
I have renamed my symbolic link and created a new PDF folder in my home
"~/PDF" and everything works fine, but the system doesn't work with
symbolic directories.
