Sorry about all that, just trying to work out what package that's having the problem. I think it's a bug in how Firefox interacts with the file system because other programs, like GIMP and LibreOffice, can also export to PDF and this bug doesn't recur.
** No longer affects: firefox (Ubuntu) ** Package changed: nautilus (Ubuntu) => firefox (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1490244 Title: "Print to file" silently fails Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Not sure what package this bug should be filed against, but I observed the following behaviour on my trusty box. Open a page in firefox for example or some other document you'd like to print to a PDF. Ctrl+P to print. Select "Print to file". Navigate to the place you would to save to, let's say this was "/tmp/" for simplicity of demonstartion. Make sure there is a directory called /tmp/test.pdf (I know this is silly, but it actually happens quite often accidentally by how selecting a folder and file name are presented in these dialogs). Save the file now as test.pdf. You should receive a warning now that /tmp/test.pdf already exists (the directory) and whether you want to overwrite it. Choose Yes. You'd expect the file to be created now, but actually that is not the case.
