Presumably gnuCash requires something to be installed for it to be
possible to produce the PDF.  That program is present on your older
installations but not on the newer mint 20 machine.

I know that [x]ubuntu moved from using evince to atril for displaying
PDF files, maybe mint has done something similar and gnuCash depends
on the older PDF program.

If you open a PDF on the old machine and then the new machine does it
use a different program?  If so it's probably easy to fix by
installing the old PDF renderer on the new machine, it's probably
still available from the repositories.
