Error message on Mac when saving pdf file via print dialog box: 'Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File > Save.'

When saving the document via Save / Pdf the pictures in the document itself will not show on the iPhone. How do I get this to work?

Any help is much appreciated!

Also, I am using the free version of Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.

Thank you for your fast responses.

    I just encountered this issue, and it's stopping me from completing work for a client. This is really a very unecessary omission on Adobe's part. PDF printingshould be standard accross all OS'.

    It's unbelievable to me that this remains an issue after so long - I complete a long form in Adobe, go to print as pdf so I can upload for e-signatures, but it won't allow me to. Tried to print/save in a variety of ways, but looks like I'll have to print a physical piece of paper and THEN scan it to upload for e-signatures? Can this be right?

    Response I got from contacting adobe support:

    "The option to save... with Adobe pdf printer is present in Windows OS only, you can print in Mac but can't save with Adobe PDF printer on it."
