Given the Mac's intimate relationship with PDF, this ought to be easy. Still, a straightforward solution hasn't occurred to me.

I have an application that uses the Web browser in REALbasic to display PDFs within my application.

This works great, except that the most recent version of Adobe Reader's plugin for Webkit broke PDF viewing within Webkit (although, oddly, it works in Safari. But it doesn't work in REALbasic, nor in, any of the other webkit browsers).

So on the Mac, I'm forced to remove the Adobe Reader plugin, which causes Webkit to fall back on its built-in PDF rendering.

This works fine, but my users just noticed that although Adobe Reader in plugin mode offers a way to print the PDF, Webkit doesn't.

Since I only have the problem on the Mac, I'd be happy to rely on a Mac-only solution. So: what's the easiest way to print a PDF (ideally directly, rather than, say, scripting Preview, which would make me have to open and display Preview whenever I want to print something).

I also need to be able to print web pages, if anyone has advice on that, but that's less important.
