I changed the cups-pdf output directory in /etc/cups/cups-pdf.conf:
Out ${HOME}/Desktop

and also in /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.cupsd:
  @{HOME}/Desktop/ w,
  @{HOME}/Desktop/* w,

It didn't work, so I ran:
sudo aa-complain cupsd

...and now the cups-pdf printer saves PDFs to the ~/Desktop folder.
Thanks labinnsw for the (temporary?) solution.  Does anyone know if
setting cupsd to "complain mode" is unwise for any reason?  I don't have
any expertise on this issue.

Also, when I "Print Test Page" via /usr/bin/system-config-printer
(System > Administration > Printing in my Gnome panel menu), it still
outputs to /var/spool/cups-pdf/ANONYMOUS as others describe above.
