Pdf's produced by MacVim's Print are not printable with Mac Preview

(N.B. I know there is a vim-mac group, but my attempts to post to it are failing, though I am a member.)

Hi,

This is likely a Mac Preview bug, or perhaps an HP-CP1525nw bug, but I wanted to at least inquire here.

When I use MacVim's "Print" facility to print a file, MacVim creates a .pdf and opens it using the Mac's Preview program. If I then try to Print from Preview, the file gets queued to the printer but then never prints; it remains queued with the message "Printing – Waiting for job to complete" until, after a long time, it times out.

The MacVim-written .pdf can be saved. It can be printed from Acrobat Reader without problems.

There's an online tool at https://www.pdf-online.com/osa/validate.aspx that can be used to check .pdf syntax, and it gives the MacVim-written .pdf a clean bill of health.

Has anyone else encountered this problem, and is there a workaround, other than using Acrobat manually? For example, is there a way to get MacVim to use Acrobat Reader as its .pdf print app rather than Preview? Or is there a way to get MacVim to write Preview-compatible .pdf files?

I'm on MacOS Sierra, 10.12.6, with the latest patches.

Thanks,
-P.
