AC Print + Email adds a simple Print link and a lightweight Email dropdown to posts, pages, and archive views.
It is designed for sites that value clarity, accessibility, and user trust over analytics-heavy sharing widgets and third-party services.
The plugin uses: 
* The browser’s native print dialog 
* The visitor’s own email provider or mail client 
* A copy-link fallback for universal compatibility
No emails are sent from your server. 
No tracking pixels are injected. 
No external APIs are required.
<h3>Philosophy: Human-first sharing</h3>
Most sharing plugins today are built around tracking, engagement metrics, and external networks.
AC Print + Email is built around people.
This plugin follows a few simple principles:
<ul>
<li>
Use tools users already trust 
Printing uses the browser’s native print dialog. Email opens in the user’s own mail provider or mail app.
</li>
<li>
Avoid third-party services 
No URL shorteners, redirect chains, or external dashboards.
</li>
<li>
Respect privacy by default 
No analytics, no tracking pixels, no background requests.
</li>
<li>
Separate user intent 
Printing and emailing are distinct actions with different expectations and behaviors.
</li>
<li>
Stay out of the way 
The toolbar is minimal, theme-agnostic, and designed to blend into content.
</li>
</ul>
This approach mirrors how the early web worked: direct, understandable, and user-controlled.
<h3>Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Print using the browser’s native print dialog</li>
<li>Clean print stylesheet (removes navigation, widgets, and UI chrome)</li>
<li>Email options:
<ul>
<li>Gmail</li>
<li>Yahoo Mail</li>
<li>Outlook / Hotmail</li>
<li>AOL Mail</li>
<li>Default mail client (mailto)</li>
<li>Copy link fallback</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Fully accessible:

</ul>
</li>
<li>Display modes:
<ul>
<li>Icons + labels</li>
<li>Icons only</li>
<li>Labels only</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Per-content controls:
<ul>
<li>Enable on posts</li>
<li>Enable on pages</li>
<li>Enable on category archives</li>
<li>Enable on tag archives</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Placement control:

<li>Shortcode-only mode for manual placement [ac_print_email]</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Live admin preview panel</li>
<li>No dependencies</li>
<li>No tracking</li>
<li>No advertisements</li>
</ul>
<h3>Placement & Theme Compatibility</h3>
By default, the toolbar is automatically injected into supported content.
For older or heavily customized themes, you may prefer Shortcode only placement, which gives you full control over where the toolbar appears.
Use the shortcode: [ac_print_email]
This mode avoids layout conflicts and is recommended for legacy or custom templates.
<h3>Why this plugin does NOT send email from your server</h3>
Sending email from a WordPress server introduces complexity, privacy concerns, and deliverability issues.
AC Print + Email intentionally avoids server-side email so that: 
* Emails are sent by the user, not your site 
* SPF and DKIM issues are avoided 
* User expectations are respected 
* Privacy is preserved
If you need server-side email campaigns, this plugin is not designed to replace that functionality.
<h3>Accessibility</h3>
Accessibility is treated as a first-class feature.
The toolbar supports: 
* Full keyboard navigation 
* Proper focus management 
* ARIA-expanded and ARIA-live announcements 
* Screen-reader friendly labels and feedback
<h3>Usage</h3>
The toolbar can be automatically injected into content, or placed manually using a shortcode: [ac_print_email]
<h3>License</h3>
This plugin is licensed under the GPLv2 or later.

AC Print + Email

<h4>Print, PDF, Email Privacy & Data</h4>
PDFs are generated on our server; this plugin “phones home”. Also if the end-user shares the page via email, the email is sent by our server.
Our Fundamental Principles:
<ul>
<li>We do not sell data. Period.</li>
<li>We do not share data, unless compelled by the law.</li>
<li>We do not ask for personal information, unless it’s needed to provide a service.</li>
<li>We don’t store personal information, unless required for the on-going operation of service.</li>
</ul>
Specifically, here’s what we do with the data and information:
Page content is not sent or stored on server, except to generate the PDF. After the PDF is generated, we temporarily store the PDF to allow the end-user time to download. After this time has expired, the PDF is permanently deleted.
If you’re using the non-JavaScript option in the plugin, then the preview is generated on our server and temporarily stored in cache for a few minutes. After that time it is permanently deleted.
Email Address & Content get permanently deleted In order to send the email, we need to store the email address and message on our server. After the email has been sent and found not to be a spammer, the email address is permanently deleted.
Server log files get created and deleted. Browsers and Servers pass non-personally-identifying information, such as the browser type, language, referrer, and the date/time. We may use this data to analyze how the service is being used. Non-personally-identifying aggregate data may get published, e.g., by a report on trends in the usage of the service.

Print, PDF, Email by PrintFriendly

Worked great, then on some update they started adding links injected into pdf/print files.
They offer a pro version of the plugin which removes ads, but still showing the ads after starting the pro trial.

Terrible practices, do not use this plugin.

Was good until they started injecting ads into PDFs! AVOID THIS!

The #1 Print, PDF, Email button. Stylish, full featured, customizable. Add custom header, footer, and more.
