Found the solution to my problem. In my code above, I had a pdfDocument object and then I created the PDFView and tried to send it to the printer using NSPrintOperation. I think setting the PDFView document as the downloaded pdf was the issue. So What I came up with was using the PDFDocument.printOperation and changed my printDocumentFunction private func printPDFDocumentt(_ document: PDFDocument) { let printInfo = NSPrintInfo.shared printInfo.horizontalPagination = .fit printInfo.verticalPagination = .fit printInfo.orientation = .portrait printInfo.topMargin = 0 printInfo.bottomMargin = 0 printInfo.leftMargin = 0 printInfo.rightMargin = 0 printInfo.isHorizontallyCentered = true printInfo.isVerticallyCentered = true let scale: PDFPrintScalingMode = .pageScaleDownToFit let printOp = document.printOperation(for: printInfo, scalingMode: scale, autoRotate: true) DispatchQueue.main.async { printOp?.run() } }

Update to this. Ive decided to try downloading the pdf file to my mac desktop and view the results. When I do this, the PDF looks completely normal. I think there is something wrong with how I am creating my printPDFDocumentt function. Almost as if I have a pdfDocument and I am pasting the document to a new created PDFView and thats whats causing the weird pasting affect. Not sure exactly. NSPrintOperation(view: pdfView, printInfo: printInfo) this functino accepts a view of type NSView, Is there a way to convert a PDFDocument to an NSView?
