IF there's no way to get another copy from ? original source or the author

where the authentic article could be copy protected by an individual, you

may be out of luck.


If the document loads in software and you can try to view it, there may be

more than one way to see if it can be printed. ~ However there may have

been a limited time-frame in which to access and use the document.


Sometimes you may be able to see content of PDF but not print it; an image

of what you see could be made. That said, unless you are authorized, that

may be infringing upon copyright an original author has rights over.


And some PDF features won't work in Preview application if custom to Adobe.

Because a document authored in Acrobat may be locked to use Adobe's apps.


If you can open and view the document, print options may be available to you.

Without knowing what you have or what you did to try using it, it's speculation.


The Adobe Acrobat DC has free less featured version; but it may not unlock

custom features, or special time-out content. Consult the author if not yours.


Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Install for all versions

Adobe Acrobat Reader DC software is the free global standard for reliably viewing, printing,

and commenting on PDF documents. ...now, it's connected to the Adobe Document Cloud

making it easier than ever to work across computers and mobile devices.

Unless you purchase a higher standard version of Adobe Acrobat, some custom

feature may not be available to you; however their regular free version may handle

documents that Preview may not. (Surprising, what Preview can do, though.)

Because you hadn't suggested any specific software was involved, hard to guess.
