your cmd string has some errors, try the following:

sprintf(cmd "pdf_out -$ %%s -c \"%s.cnv\" -o \"%s/%s_%s.pdf\" " f getWorkingDir() designName filmName)

From a similar posting in 'PCB Design':

Just as a FYI Export PDF is back again without a license. Available in 17.2-2016 S065 and 17.4-2019 S005.

Instead of code, you can directly export PDF from PCB Canvas (provided you have installed the latest hotfix) with a few mouse clicks.

Latest 17.4 has built-in PDF export for PCB which can also export each layer into PDF. This is much more convenient than skill.
