Hello,

PDF documents can be set with different permissions, including the ability to print. If you created them its possible they have been locked and you would need to unlock them to edit the permission. If you did not create the PDF you would need to contact its creator to see if you can be given that permission.

Password-protect a PDF in Preview on Mac - Apple Support

To see its permissions you can go to the Preview App menu > Tools > Show Inspector > Lock Icon.

I hope this helps.
