If you set up a dummy document (no content or "Hello world") can 
you export it as pdf  to that directory?

Since you are under a deadline I suggest you send me just the sla 
file and any included files (illos etc.) as attachments to an email 
and I will try to create a pdf file for you.  If I can't do that then you 
might want to review the history of steps you went through to 
create this document.
