Save as PDF shortcut will not work anymore

I have used the keyboard shortcut Save as PDF... for years, it has saved me a lot of time. However, since upgrading from macOS Sierra to macOS High Sierra it has stopped working. I have reapplied it as per the help pages to no avail. Does anyone know why it should stop working with the upgrade?

A search on Google found the answer. Only one of the many search results had the right answer: Remove the ellipsis at the end of the command. I thought I had tried this in my many unsuccessful rewrites of the command. But it doesn't matter, it works now. Even the Apple help topic still mentions adding the ellipsis. Perhaps it only applies in certain configurations, who knows?
