About Print My Blog – Print, PDF, & eBook Converter WordPress Plugin
Make printing your blog easy and impressive. For you & your visitors. One post or thousands.
Offline publishing for you, site visitors, and the world outside WordPress.
Print My Blog makes WordPress content useful outside of your website, like in print, PDFs, and other formats. It has 3 main features:
Quick Print: print thousands of posts in a few clicks
Print Buttons: let site visitors print individual posts
Pro Print: make professional-quality books and documents
Each of which takes your WordPress content and optimizes it for print, PDF, and eBook by:
removing ink guzzlers like site logo, sidebars and footer
avoiding page breaks inside images, between images and captions, and even right after headers
allowing you to use other plugins in your printed output

Copy your entire Blog for quick pasting into another program like Microsoft Word or Google Docs
Quick Print Features
Loads all your blog’s posts into a single web page so you can print them from your web browser (to paper, PDF, ePub, or anything your web browser supports) or copy-and-paste them into another program (although the other program likely won’t format it as nicely)

free, open-source software, so you can use it for whatever you like without fear of changing terms of use,

Pro Print
Replace Google Docs and Microsoft Word with WordPress! Turn existing posts, pages, and custom post types —or write all new print materials— into professional-looking documents that are ready to share with customers and the world.
Use your browser to print Pro Print projects for free, but some features (like automatic page references, footnotes, and full control of page margins) require printing using our Pro PDF Service for a subscription fee.

new book from scratch. Write new print-only materials that never appear on your website. Leverage WordPress’ great editors and other plugins.
lead magnets. Compile content on a subject into a PDF and grant access after users signup for your email list
