   <?php if ($canEdit || $params->get('show_print_icon') || $params->get('show_email_icon')) : ?>  
   <div class="btn-group pull-right">  
   <a class="btn dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" href="#"> <span class="icon-cog"></span> <span class="caret"></span> </a>  
   <?php // Note the actions class is deprecated. Use dropdown-menu instead. ?>  
   <ul class="dropdown-menu actions">  
   <?php if ($params->get('show_print_icon')) : ?>  
   <li class="print-icon"> <?php echo JHtml::_('icon.print_popup', $this->item, $params); ?> </li>  
   <?php endif; ?>  
   <?php if ($params->get('show_email_icon')) : ?>  
   <li class="email-icon"> <?php echo JHtml::_('icon.email', $this->item, $params); ?> </li>  
   <?php endif; ?>  
   <?php if ($canEdit) : ?>  
   <li class="edit-icon"> <?php echo JHtml::_('icon.edit', $this->item, $params); ?> </li>  
   <?php endif; ?>  
   <?php  
   </ul>  
   </div>  
   <?php endif; ?>  

Change it to

   <?php $phocaPDF = false;  
   if (JPluginHelper::isEnabled('phocapdf', 'content')) {  
   include_once(JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.'/components/com_phocapdf/helpers/phocapdf.php');  
   $phocaPDF = PhocaPDFHelper::getPhocaPDFContentIcon($this->item, $params);  
   } ?>  
   <?php if ($canEdit || $params->get('show_print_icon') || $params->get('show_email_icon') || $phocaPDF) : ?>  
   <div class="btn-group pull-right">  
   <a class="btn dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" href="#"> <span class="icon-cog"></span> <span class="caret"></span> </a>  
   <?php // Note the actions class is deprecated. Use dropdown-menu instead. ?>  
   <ul class="dropdown-menu actions">  
   <?php if ($params->get('show_print_icon')) : ?>  
   <li class="print-icon"> <?php echo JHtml::_('icon.print_popup', $this->item, $params); ?> </li>  
   <?php endif; ?>  
   <?php if ($params->get('show_email_icon')) : ?>  
   <li class="email-icon"> <?php echo JHtml::_('icon.email', $this->item, $params); ?> </li>  
   <?php endif; ?>  
   <?php if ($canEdit) : ?>  
   <li class="edit-icon"> <?php echo JHtml::_('icon.edit', $this->item, $params); ?> </li>  
   <?php endif; ?>  
   <?php echo $phocaPDF; ?>  
   </ul>  
   </div>  
   <?php endif; ?>  

## Second is components/com_content/views/category/tmpl/blog_item.php

Change it from 

  <?php if ($params->get('show_print_icon') || $params->get('show_email_icon') || $canEdit) : ?>  
   <div class="btn-group pull-right"> <a class="btn dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" href="#" role="button"> <span class="icon-cog"></span> <span class="caret"></span> </a>  
   <ul class="dropdown-menu">  
   <?php if ($params->get('show_print_icon')) : ?>  
   <li class="print-icon"> <?php echo JHtml::_('icon.print_popup', $this->item, $params); ?> </li>  
   <?php endif; ?>  
   <?php if ($params->get('show_email_icon')) : ?>  
   <li class="email-icon"> <?php echo JHtml::_('icon.email', $this->item, $params); ?> </li>  
   <?php endif; ?>  
   <?php if ($canEdit) : ?>  
   <li class="edit-icon"> <?php echo JHtml::_('icon.edit', $this->item, $params); ?> </li>  
   <?php endif; ?>  
   </ul>  
   </div>  
   <?php endif; ?>  

Change it to

   <?php $phocaPDF = false;  
   if (JPluginHelper::isEnabled('phocapdf', 'content')) {  
   include_once(JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.'/components/com_phocapdf/helpers/phocapdf.php');  
   $phocaPDF = PhocaPDFHelper::getPhocaPDFContentIcon($this->item, $params);  
   } ?>  
   <?php if ($params->get('show_print_icon') || $params->get('show_email_icon') || $canEdit || $phocaPDF) : ?>  
   <div class="btn-group pull-right"> <a class="btn dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" href="#" role="button"> <span class="icon-cog"></span> <span class="caret"></span> </a>  
   <ul class="dropdown-menu">  
   <?php if ($params->get('show_print_icon')) : ?>  
   <li class="print-icon"> <?php echo JHtml::_('icon.print_popup', $this->item, $params); ?> </li>  
   <?php endif; ?>  
   <?php if ($params->get('show_email_icon')) : ?>  
   <li class="email-icon"> <?php echo JHtml::_('icon.email', $this->item, $params); ?> </li>  
   <?php endif; ?>  
   <?php if ($canEdit) : ?>  
   <li class="edit-icon"> <?php echo JHtml::_('icon.edit', $this->item, $params); ?> </li>  
   <?php endif; ?>  
   <?php echo $phocaPDF; ?>  
   </ul>  
   </div>  
   <?php endif; ?>  

Now go to the site administrator and enable the print icons param from menu and/or articles. Then you will get pdf icon on frontend of your site.

Note:-  You should aware, some of templates override the component files, that means, file which are displaying content are not in component's com_content folder but it displaying content from html folder inside you template folder. If it occurs then you should do these changes in com_content inside template's html folder and not in component folder.
