First try to print to the file as PostScript and verify what happens here. 
(Postscript is text-based, so can easily check the special comments starting 
with a double % .)

If the Postscript file is right, you can try to convert it with GhostScript's 
command line tool ps2pdf.

Printing to PDF in CUPS does the same 2 steps, however automatically, so it is 
harder to find where the problem is.

As it is a general PDF generating problem, may similar problems happened in 
other KDE mailing lists (Info: http://www.kde.org/mailinglists. Archives:
http://lists.kde.org ) or if the problem is inside ps2pdf then perhaps in 
Ghostscript related mailing lists, forums... (Sorry, I have no address at 
hand.)

Have a nice day!
