The user information is getting lost, once the print is passed to cups. Therefore the print is stored as "nobody". In that situation, the share (or at least `hide printables`) below, does not give you any benefits. You would see all or none prints.

 [pdf]
      path = /srv/samba/pdf_output
      read only = no
      hide unreadable = yes

I would suggest moving this share to the Virtual_PDF_Printer page. There is does a great better job and works like a charm.

I would even like to place a suggesten, to use the Virtual_PDF_Printer page, as it's installation is a LOT simpler + plus you can add the share above.
