Stuart, you can ignore Till's comment, I was able to reproduce your
problem.
The PDF you mentioned is "encrypted", which means that the author of the
file does not want anyone to make changes and save it under a different
filename.
Acrobat reader tries to enforce this restriction technically. When
producing the print job, it inserts PostScript snippets that allow
viewing and printing, but disallow reencoding the document as PDF.
Since Ubuntu is using a PDF-based printing pipeline, converting the
generated PostScript back to PDF fails because of those snippets.
One solution would be to petition Adobe to let acrobat reader output PDF
instead of PostScript when printing (btw, this is what almost all other
apps in Ubuntu do).
I would suggest using Evince: it renders and prints this document
perfectly, and it is free software.
