Hola! I would really like to add an option for my readers to download a PDF with Mexican recipe cards. Is there a way to do this automatically? In the past I have suggested to leave a comment and I emailed a PDF to them. I'd LOVE to know if there was a way for the reader to do this without requesting one.
The blog I need help with is muybuenocookbook.wordpress.com.
You can make a PDF file - and upload it to your site - do just the same as for pictures but use the other media icon - looks like a sun sort of - then they just click on the Text link that you uploaded and linked the PDF file to - I do it all the time on my site - the only gotcha is the Text you highlight when you upload the file changes it's name to the uploaded file name - but you can change the text when the box shows up that you click on to insert into the post -
I hope this makes sense -

You could also add a service like PrintFriendly to your sharing options. It can automatically generate a printer-friendly or PDF version of your article.

I don't know if this has happened to anyone who has used PrintFriendly service. When I am connected to the web via a 3G HSDPA modem, using the service (at the point where I clicked on the PDF button) consistently disconnects the network. I had a friend try this at his work place and the same thing happened to him.
Here is yet another way:
How to use Embedit to embed any document in a wordpress.com blog
@Sanjidas I don't see how Embedit comes close to the convenience of PrintFriendly which sits nicely in the sharing space.
@himworld,

Me neither! My response is to the original poster who would really like to add an option for readers to download a PDF, and embedit is one of the solutions that makes that possible in wordpress.com.
