I am thinking this may be more an Adobe issue than Intuit. Both companies are making every attempt to exploit your personal informational and deliver it to their cloud.
When you save to PDF just wait. A minute, 2 minutes? Eventually the save dialog will show up. I doubt you can print directly from TurboTax. I don't have a printer. One could further test who, Intuit or Adobe, by disabling Intuit/TurboTax and Adobe access to the internet via the firewall. Turn the ports on one by one seeing which one accesses and how long. the delay is a time out. Most likely Adobe trying to see if they can sell you anything or popup a window with cool features that you click and get a bigger longer sales pitch.
If it is Intuit, they will not fix it. They will continue to claim they are not using the cloud.
