if you're not having any luck with the livna/fedora.us combo, then maybe
do a search on whatever rpm you're after here:

http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/2/simple/2

i did a search on cups-pdf, but couldn't find anything ... maybe you'll
have to build it yourself ... otoh - i don't remember installing that
package, but i'm sure i can still print pdf documents ...
