There’s a firmware update from July. Is that loaded here?
I’ll assume the AirPrint (page 29) path is in use here:

Can other apps successfully print PDF files?

The two likely culprits: AirPrint is clobbering PDF, or the printer is clobbering PDFs.
Can you print PDF from this iPad on a different printer, elsewhere or otherwise? Maybe at an Apple Store?

Can you print something else on your printer?
Have you restarted your router, and your printer, and tried printing again?
