  How do I install the Print Friendly and PDF plugin? When I go to plugins in the admin area, I don’t see an ‘add’ button – only an ‘upgrade’ button.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  There is a print button http://en.support.wordpress.com/sharing/ in the sharing buttons that you can enable and it will appear at the end of every post/page. Both you and your visitors can use it.

  Here are options for printing an entire blog

  Blogger installed plugin capability does not exist on WordPress.COM blogs and there is no upgrade you can purchase here that changes that reality. You are confusing WordPress.ORG and WordPress.COM. For that type of functionality you’d need a self-hosted site running on a paid web hosting service.

  Note: A plugin that creates PDFs is available only on wordpress.ORG software installs not on wordpress.COM hosted blogs. WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums.

  re: PDFs (Uploading documents and Embedding documents)
  See:
  Accepted file types here http://en.support.wordpress.com/accepted-filetypes/

  Uploading documents
  See here for accepted file types http://en.support.wordpress.com/accepted-filetypes/ The following processes are outlined particularly for users who wish to upload a document and add its download link to a blog post or page. http://en.support.wordpress.com/uploading-documents/

  Embedding documents
  If you want to embed the document itself into a post, then you will have to use a third party application like Scribd or Google Docs.

  Embed From Google Docs
