Add Print as PDF button in Your Blog!



Sometimes your blog or website reader may wanna save the post as PDF. Or they may want to print it. And there are many free tools to add Save as PDF button. But the problem is that, most of the free tools doesn't allow you to remove the background images of your site. I mean this is not print friendly. As a result whole web page is saved. And this is very irritating. 

Today I'm sharing a code that is free from this problem. It allows you to save only the sentences with related image. Let's try this- 
  1. Sign in into your blog. Then go to design.
  2. From the left panel, hit on the Layout button.
  3. Now click on Add a Gadget.
  4. Choose HTML/ JavaScript.
  5. Now copy and paste the following code into the Content Box.
  6. Save the gadget and view your blog to see the change! 
<script src="http://cdn.printfriendly.com/printfriendly.js" type="text/javascript"></script><script type="text/javascript">document.doAT = function(cl){var myclass = new RegExp("hentry");var myTitleContainer = new RegExp("post-title");var myPostContent = new RegExp("post-footer");var elem = this.getElementsByTagName("div");for (var i = 0; i < elem.length; i++){var classes = elem[i].className;if (myclass.test(classes)){var container = elem[i];for (var b = 0; b < container.childNodes.length; b++){var item = container.childNodes[b].className;if (myTitleContainer.test(item)){var link = container.childNodes[b].getElementsByTagName("a");if (typeof(link[0]) != "undefined"){var url = link[0].href;var index_page = true;}else{var url = document.url;var index_page = false;}if (typeof(url) == "undefined"|| url == "undefined" ){url = window.location.href;var index_page = false;}}if (myPostContent.test(item)){var footer = container.childNodes[b];}}var n = document.createElement("div");if (index_page == true) {var at = '<a href=' + url + '?pfstyle=wp' + ' style="float:right; margin-right: 1em; color:#6D9F00; text-decoration:none;" class="printfriendly" title="Printer Friendly and PDF"><img style="border:none;" src="http://cdn.printfriendly.com/button-print-grnw20.png" alt="Print Friendly and PDF"/></a>';}else {var at = '<a href="http://www.printfriendly.com" style="float:right; margin-right: 1em; color:#6D9F00; text-decoration:none;" class="printfriendly" onclick="window.print(); return false;" title="Printer Friendly and PDF"><img style="border:none;" src="http://cdn.printfriendly.com/button-print-grnw20.png" alt="Print Friendly and PDF"/></a>';}n.innerHTML = at;var origFooter = footer.innerHTML;footer.innerHTML = n.innerHTML + origFooter;footer.style.overflow = "hidden";}}return true;};document.doAT("hentry");</script>


If you wanna place the button at the left side then replace the red colored words as- float:left. And if you are expert in coding like html, CSS, then you can easily place this code anywhere you want. 


Code for other websites other than blogger- 
<script src="http://cdn.printfriendly.com/printfriendly.js" type="text/javascript"></script><a href="http://www.printfriendly.com" style=" color:#6D9F00; text-decoration:none;" class="printfriendly" onclick="window.print(); return false;" title="Printer Friendly and PDF"><img style="border:none;" src="http://cdn.printfriendly.com/button-print-grnw20.png" alt="Print Friendly and PDF"/></a>
