If it's happening with print to file also then my _guess_ would be that
it's a cups issue overall & possibly a spool problem.  Check:

/var/log/cups access and error logs to see if you can find an
instance/error there. Also

/var/spool/cups-pdf to see if there is anything stuck there.

I'd target on the print to file (PTF) issue first. Once that's working
then my guess is that cups-pdf will follow.

Try after restarting cups:

$ sudo /etc/init.d/cups restart
or
$ sudo service cups restart

then try a PTF with a multipage to see if that works. Also look at the
logs/settings of the application you are using to print the pdf (what it
is BTW?).
