In /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.cupsd, below the line
/usr/lib/cups/backend/cups-pdf {
I added the line
capability mknod,
and I changed two lines from
@{HOME}/PDF/ rw,

Yes - every time I delete the cups pdf printer and try to add a new
virtual pdf printer, I can select the printer make (Generic) but in the
next step I cannot select a pdf printer type - I have to select the
appropriate ppd file and I have to know where it is.
