Error when creating PDF files in Joomla 2.5

I followed these instructions exactly (a few times now). When I add format=pdf to the end of my URL query string as instructed, I get this error: 

500 - View not found [name, type, prefix]: article, pdf, contentView

I'm not really sure where to go from here. This is definitely a Joomla issue, as I am able to create PDF's using the DOMPDF library on it's own.

I am using Joomla 2.5.

You need a view with in the following file:

view.pdf.php

Alternatively, but not as clean, you can pack everything inside a method in a controller.

Hope this helps.
