I experienced this on Maverick (10.10) after upgrading from Lucid
(10.04).
To fix, I did the following:
1) sudo aptitude purge cups-pdf
2) sudo aptitude install cups-pdf
3) Right click on printer - Properties - Policies - check Enabled.
4) Click Apply.

I can confirm this also on an upgrade from 8.04 LTS to 10.04 LTS. I
(re)installed cups-pdf without effect. However I noticed that the
printer was not enabled in Printer Properties under Polices. I checked
the box and all was well once again.

I can confirm that I see this on a 8.04.2 LTS - 10.04 LTS upgraded box
on a print queue called PDF.

I solved this issue by purging then reinstalling cups-pdf.
Then when adding a PDF printer I noticed the cups printername must be at
least 4 characters (if not APPLY is greyed out). My cups-pdf printer on
Karmic only had 3 chars ('PDF') - maybe the issue is related to that?
