Remove initial check for pdf creating program.

Instead, just try running it and raise the exception if it
isn't found at that point.

This improves things for users of Cygwin on Windows, where
the executable won't be found by `findExecutable` unless
`.exe` is added.

The same exception is raised as before, but at a later
point.

Closes #3819.
