  I can’t think of an automatic way, but if you wanted to produce a PDF version of a post you could print it from a browser to a PDF file using one of the many ways of printing to a PDF file, like redmon/ghostscript for windows. (most Linux distributions automatically allow printing to PDF files)

  The thing is with printing or creating a PDF from a blog here is that in most cases it will not come out looking like your blog page does on screen.

  I’ve been wondering the same thing. For example, how can I make a pdf idential to the following page, or else just tranfer the the page to a word processer.

  Secondly, is there a way to post a pdf “on” a page, so it shows up on the page, instead of just a link to a download?

  WordPress does not have a PDF interpreter, but you can use scribd to show a PDF on a page: http://support.wordpress.com/scribd/ .

  You can do a print to PDF if you have one of the PDF print drivers chrisqq mentions, but the page will have no background image, just text on the page. What shows when you try to PDF a page seems to be theme dependent. On my blog here I’m using the sandbox theme with a skin from devblog and all the formatting and backgrounds show up if I PDF it.
