Force print dialog in mobile Safari for multi page PDF

How to force a working print dialog for a multi page (printing the first page is working) PDF in mobile Safari?

Side info: If I "long tap" the PDF in mobile Safari I get a "Save image as" dialogue. Maybe the mobile Safari implementation renders the PDF as image and I should search for a solution that this engine renders multiple pages?!

How do you Print from Safari on a Mac?

In the Safari app on your Mac, choose File > Print. Click the options pop-up menu (in the separator bar), choose Safari, then set the webpage printing options. If you don't see the options pop-up menu in a separator bar to the right of the page preview, click Show Details at the bottom of the Print dialog.

I would rather say it is a real answer but an alternative if there is no support to force a working print dialogue for a multi page PDF in mobile Safari:

If the source for generating a PDF is HTML, you can use the HTML inside the page and print that instead of the PDF. This will work for more than one page, also in mobile Safari.
