Install a library for generating PDFs (mPDF, TCPDF, wkhtmltopdf and dompdf are supported. Test status at 18 January 2018 is as follows (Ubuntu Xenial VM):
- mPDF: Needs more testing.
- TCPDF: Just works.
- wkhtmltopdf: Fails with an error that print_api doesn't send back or display. I've opened an issue with print_api regarding suppling a patch or taking over maintaining the module.
- dompdf: Needs more testing.

Configure your PDF library at /admin/config/user-interface/printable/pdf. For wkhtmltopdf, after you submit the form with wkthmltopdf selected, the form will gain an extra field allowing you to enter the path to the binary. Fill this field and submit again.
Under /admin/config/user-interface/printable/links/pdf, click on the PDF second level tab and choose where PDF links should appear.
