Have you tried using a different PDF viewer to Acrobat, not a browser based one like firefox or edge, they're half-baked. I switched to PDF-XChange because of Acrobat frustrations, this is its print dialogue.

Or, if you have a recent edition of Word (2013 or later I think) try opening the PDF directly in it and print from there. It can produce surprisingly good results for some PDFs. On large PDFs it may run for a while (as in 10-20 minutes) and then fail, gracefully though.

IMO, conversion of PDF to HTML, or its derivatives, should only be done when all else fails.

You've got it the other way around I want to print an epub document.
Apparently the Adobe Digital Editions that opens the epub can't print properly. So the idea was to convert the epub to PDF and then print that.

It's just bizarre that it can render those pages properly in whatever browser or epub viewer, however once I print they all of a sudden forgot how to render the page and completely screw it up.

Also the conversion takes ages. The only thing that seemed to work a bit quick and mediocre was PDF Candy software.
I also had to switch to the 64bit version of Calibre since it ran out of memory.

So if anyone knows about a decent xhtml viewer/epub viewer that can do a simple print of what is rendered on screen that would be great.
