RH 2019 PDF Output - no cover page or master page

I'm trying to generate PDF output from RH 2019.

I've configured a Cover Page and a Master Page in the Printed Documentation output settings, but when I generate and view the PDF, there is no cover page and the topics don't use the correct master page.

Any thoughts?

    Classic or new UI?

    Have you applied Update 3?

    When I originally made this post I had not yet installed Update 3, but I then did install Update 3 after your suggestion.

    Now after upgrading, I can't generate the printed output at all. I get the following error: Failed to combine files into PDF.

    So, now I'm at more of a loss.

    I did some more testing... Deleted the preset and then created a new PDF output preset from scratch. If I don't make any changes, the output generates fine. If I do make a change (say define a Cover Page or deselect Include Index) it fails with that error.
