In no\u00a0time at all, you can aggregate your blog into a word document and share it as a PDF.<\/p>\n<p>SlideShare supports OpenOffice, Microsoft Office (Word and PowerPoint) and PDF. Assuming you already have setup your account (setup is a breeze and low to zero cost for entry), here are the <strong>5-easy steps that you can do in less than 5 minutes:<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Step #1:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>From your blog, if you have the <a href=\"http:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/addthis\/\">AddThis plugin<\/a> installed on your blog, open\u00a0the plugin and use PrintFriendly or just go directly to the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.printfriendly.com\/\">printfriendly.com<\/a>\u00a0website and enter the blog post URL<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6238 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/dlvrit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Screen-Shot-2014-09-08-at-6.32.26-PM-1024x489.png\" alt=\"Screen Shot Social Share\" width=\"1024\" height=\"489\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dlvrit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Screen-Shot-2014-09-08-at-6.32.26-PM.png 1024w, https:\/\/dlvrit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Screen-Shot-2014-09-08-at-6.32.26-PM-300x143.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Step #2:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">&#8216;Create a PDF&#8217;, but before you do this:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Consider increasing the Text Size to its maximum of 130%. \u00a0I find the larger font easier to read once it&#8217;s uploaded to SlideShare.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>At this time (before you hit PDF), you can also delete the Author and\/or Remove Images if you need.
