 * In short, no. The download link is generated outside the viewer area (above or
   below) and isn’t a button on the toolbar itself, though this may be added in 
   a future version. There is an experimental feature that allows you to show the
   print button on full screen view, but not in embedded view. I would not consider
   this very stable, however. It’s not really possible to print a PDF directly from
   the web, anyway – at best you could force it to download and open and trigger
   the print window, but that’s both unintuitive and assumes the person has PDF 
   software – maybe a safe assumption most of the time but the plugin is intended
   to be used by anyone without need of extra software or browser plugins.
 * Hope this helps.

 * thanks for the response, another question – is it possible to control it so, 
   that pdf doesn’t load automatically itself on page load?
    I mean, if the pdf 
   is big or there are manu pdf documents in one page – I would like to choose, 
   which document to open by clicking on it etc.

 * If the document is larger than the “max file size” setting, the viewer won’t 
   load but the download link will still appear (unless it’s turned off). There 
   is no way to override this individually so to make it appear in this case you’d
   have to change the setting.
 * Otherwise there is no “click to load” sort of function at the moment, but it’s
   on the list for a future version. The plugin does handle multiple documents per
   page fairly well – see the “preview” pages on the GDE web site.
