I then have to navigate to my downloads folder, open the PDF, and print it through Preview. This only occurs in Safari. If I press CMD + P or FilePrint in Chrome, the Chrome print dialog box comes up immediately and I am able to print directly from Chrome. How can I get the print. Reloaded the OS to take me back and I am now on 10.3.5 and the system is MUCH faster but I do not get a printer dialouge box when I try to print out of Safari. Nothing at all shows up when I hit print. Download mac os x utilities.
Safari has a built-in PDF reader that automatically displays PDF documents right in the browser window. You don’t have to download and install a separate PDF reader app.
In the Safari app on your Mac, click the link to a PDF.
Move the pointer to the bottom center of the browser window to see controls.

Can't Print Pdf Document
The Adobe PDF Printer is not available or is unusable from Mac OS X Snow Leopard (v10.6) to Mac OS X Mountain Lion (v10.8).
If you are using Acrobat 9 Pro, update to Acrobat 9.1 Pro. The Updater removes the Adobe PDF Printer from the Printer list and adds the Save As Adobe PDF command to the PDF menu.
In the PDF menu, choose Save As Adobe PDF, and follow the onscreen instructions.
If you upgrade from Mac OS X Leopard (v10.5), Snow Leopard (v10.6), Lion (v10.7), or Mountain Lion (v10.8), the Adobe PDF Printer isn't removed.
Can't Print Pdf From Safari Browser
The Save As Adobe PDF command appears in the PDF menu.
Security features in Snow Leopard and later editions that disable the Adobe PDF Printer. Adobe Acrobat 9.1 Pro and later editions up to Acrobat 11.0.x Pro remove the Adobe PDF Printer. Add, they add a Save As Adobe PDF command. Customers using earlier versions of Adobe Acrobat in Snow Leopard cannot use the Adobe PDF Printer.
Technical changes in Mac OS X Snow Leopard (v10.6) and the later editions prevent Adobe from delivering a PostScript-based printer module. However, the new PDF workflow takes advantage of the PDF-based printing architecture already present in Mac OS X. By choosing Save As Adobe PDF from the PDF menu, Apple-based PDFs are converted to Adobe-quality PDFs using your JobOption settings.
The benefits of a PDF-to-PDF print workflow include the following:
Better performance
Higher-quality PDFs
The ability to create PDFs that are compliant with Standards, such as PDF/X and PDF/A
The potential for adding functionality to PDFs, such as bookmarks, hyperlinks and watermarks
Some versions of some Adobe products, such as InDesign and Illustrator CS4 or CS5, don't support the PDF menu in the Mac OS X print dialog box. For those cases, either save as (Illustrator) or export (InDesign) to a PDF file. Or, print to PostScript® file and open that file with Distiller, Acrobat Professional, or Apple's Preview application.
