This is very easy to use hack but still backup your template before doing anything. Refer my previous post, for details about backup procedure.
This hack uses FreePDFConverter service, which is free as suggested by its name.
Steps:
-
Now go to your blogger dashboard click Edit HTML and then choose expand widget template option.
-
Then using your browser search feature search for <data:post.body>.
-
Once you have find it, add the following code after the <data:post.body> tag in your blogger template and hit Save Template button.
Codes:
<script type="text/javascript">
</script>
<script src="http://web2pdf.freepdfconvert.com/pdfbutton.js" type="text/javascript">
</script>

If all goes fine, you will see a button like below after your every post.
Enjoy this hack and please feel free to ask your doubts about it.

da system has regional fonts.. i can read that in the browser.. cannot convert.. i believe it is coz the site which is converting does not support other fonts
Is there anything like this for wordpress?
Just one small correction..
Image shows post.body/ closing, you’ve forgotten to put the / in the post.
Nice trick.. 🙂
I think you should create a temp. blogspot blog and then give a demo of each article you write about blogger there so that we can actually see and work out…

Is there a way to get only article content as pdf in Blogger Blog?
@prateek
Am looking for your request……….
There is a easier way, i just saw in Gadgets list.
Just go to Add new Gadget and Search for “PDF”, you’ll see a
nice Gadget.Then you’ll get more visitors because they can
convert your blog pages and more importantly their own documents
to pdf.
