Yes, you'll need an Adobe reader to open and print your return. You'll have to download the PDF of your return to your computer before printing it. But you can download a free version of Adobe, so you're not actually "signing up" or be required to make payment.

Follow the info in this TurboTax FAQ to download the recommended Adobe program, download and print your 2017 return. The blue letters in the FAQ (hyperlink) will direct you to the free download of the proper Adobe program. Just click on those and follow the on-screen instructions.

As Kat explained, you do not need to "sign with Adobe for a year." The Adobe Reader is free, or you can also use your browser to open and print a PDF.

When you click on the online PDF, and it asks you what you want to do, choose "Open with". Choose your browser such as Edge or Firefox, etc. Then you can print it from the browser. The browser window should have a printer icon for printing.

Or you can download the PDF to your computer. Once downloaded, if you are using Windows, right-click the PDF, and choose "Open with", then choose a browser as mentioned above.
