Error while trying to publish on PDF format

Hi all,

I have just installed 2011a and I am trying to publish some code on pdf. Even though html works smoothly, the pdf choice lead to the following error...

??? Java exception occurred:
java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2011a\toolbox\matlab\codetools\private\fop_config.xml (The
system cannot find the file specified)

How come this bug isn't fixed. I'm using R2018a. Does this fix also work for my version?
