Unable to print PDF file after updating to macOS Sonoma.

I’m on Mac mini M1. 


Since the update to MacOS Sonoma I can’t print pdf files. 


In the Print window I click Print and I get the following message: 


“The document could not be printed.”


I click OK and then this message appears:


“There were no pages selected to print.”


I click OK and nothing happens.


I would really appreciate your help with this issue.

I figured out that if I choose print and then on the print screen I choose advanced => print as image, I can now print and it also saves that setting, so I don't have to remember to do it each time.

I can print the same document in its Word format, but not PDF. I hope the techs monitor these discussions, since there's no app failure which allows for an alert to Apple.

Are you generating that PDF from a Word Document? There are several posts documenting Word having issues printing bullets. It sounds like some sort of font conflict with current version of Word 365. I have an older version of Word and I don't have any such problems printing.

I don't want to install a lower version. I paid for Acrobat Pro. I also don't want to uninstall/reinstall. I have my own 'tools' set up with all the functions I typically use. I'd have to re-do everything.


I've also heard older posts (well over a year back) where Apple said it's a known issue. Why is it taking so long to be resolved ?
