Hi,

Thanks for your bug report!

The usr.sbin.cupsd profile is supposed to run cups-pdf under
a dedicated child profile (/usr/lib/cups/backend/cups-pdf) which does
allow write access to ~/PDF, so this is a bug in the current
implementation, not simply something that would have been forgotten.

Could you please share the AppArmor denial logs?
(https://wiki.debian.org/AppArmor/Debug)
If you're not willing to do that, just let me know and I'll try to reproduce.

Thanks in advance :)

Cheers,
