chmod +s /usr/lib/cups/backend/cups-pdf

Keep in mind that this sets up cups-pdf SUID, and generally you do not
want to add SUID programs without knowing the ramifications on security
for you system.  If you don't know what any of this means, then I
suggest you google for why SUID is a bad idea.  Basically, if there is a
security issue with cups-pdf, any local user (and potentially remote
depending on your cups configuration) will have root access to your
system.
