Save to PDF script not working
I downloaded the Save to PDF script from the this resources on arcgis.com. I am trying to get it to run in ArcMap but am consistently getting the error shown in this image:
What I want to do is publish the results as a Geoprocessing Service to ArcGIS Server, but can't get it to run correctly in ArcGIS Desktop. Any thoughts as to whats going on here?
Here is the script, which again was downloaded from arcgis.com:
