Sadly, PDF pagination and printing is handled by WebKitGtk, not GnuCash. If you’re on Windows it’s likely due to the ancient version of WebKitGtk we use thanks to WebKitGtk having dropped Windows support around 10 years ago. There’s hope, though: GnuCash 6, due out next spring, will replace WebKitGtk with a native WebView2. That should resolve a bunch of WebKit-related issues on Windows.
Nightly builds are available at https://code.gnucash.org/builds/win32/future should you be interested in trying it out. You can install in parallel; it installs as GnuCash Preview to keep everything separate from GnuCash. We recommend that you don’t use your production data; make a copy and open that in GnuCash Preview.
