Hi,
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if there's anyway you can select the pages in which you want the button to appear. (or the opposite: if you do not want the button to appear on certain pages.) THANKS!
Anonymous: The answer is at WordPress.com

Awesome, thanks!
ReplyDeleteThanks, very helpful! I really like the services of the Print Friendly and this is of great value to my blog!
ReplyDeleteThanks for this tool and this article, this is really nice tool to add in blog. Thanks
ReplyDeleteI recently implemented this into my own blog. At first I was about to put it at the bottom of every page on my site, but realizing it's optimized for articles and posts, I put it on my blog instead.
ReplyDeleteYou got that right. The button works best on articles or news pages.
DeleteGreat tool. Any way I can create a PDF of a single page on my website? I use Wordpress to maintain a website rather than a blog, so I don't need the capability to print posts, just a single web article. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHi,
DeleteYou can just use the PrintFriendly button on posts as well. Just install PrintFriendly plugin on your WordPress installation and make sure you make the button visible on both posts & pages from the settings page.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteis it possible to print the post's comments as well as the post?
Thanks
Hi,
DeleteAs of now, you cannot include the comments in the print.
Thanks.
Great tool. But I need it to reduce the font size to 50% instead of the 70% that is listed. How/Where would I find to do that in the JS to change? Thanks ahead of time.
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Leo

Hi Francisco, I have just added your website's link to the list for reviewing. Our developers will soon look into it for issues.
DeleteThanks.
Hi,
ReplyDeletethank you for the review. In order to help you to isolate the problem, I found that some posts print the post title correctly (https://recetasxacompartir.wordpress.com/2013/03/29/sopa-de-tomate-y-albahaca-fresca/) while others don´t (https://recetasxacompartir.wordpress.com/2013/03/27/arroz-con-coco/)
thanks
Hi,
DeleteI apologize deeply for the problem. I have alerted our developers of these URLs and they will be working on it as soon as possible.
Thanks for helping us make PrintFriendly a better product. :)

Hi all, I have a wordpress blog but this button seems to only print text and not the images? If someone could help it would be much appreciated. :)

Hi,
DeleteCan you give us your site URL? Perhaps email it to support@printfriendly.com for a better support. We'll see what's causing the problem.
Thanks.
Hello, we´ve installed print friendly on wordpress. Its great. But there is one problem: If we test pdf function a really ugly google ad sense is shown (someting with thai women). We do not want disturb our visitors with this kind of advertising:-(
ReplyDeleteHi,
DeleteOur free version briefly shows advertisements while sending the page to printer. Publishers can subscribe to our pro version which will remove the ads. More information is available here: http://www.printfriendly.com/pro
Thanks.
Awesome. thanks!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Thank you so much :)
ReplyDeleteGreat article and a great plugin. :D
ReplyDeleteThank you!
I am trying to get Printfriendly to work on my blog peterurbani@wordpress.com but all it does is print the title and does not pick up the embedded ExcelOnline file I actually wish to print. Any thoughts ?
ReplyDeletePrintFriendly at this point does not support embedded content, that is why your embedded ExcelOnline file is not being picked up by PrintFriendly.
DeleteThanks.
