That hack looks like it returns only the comments for a specific post, but I don't care about the comments, just the post by itself.
Why would you want an entire feed for one post? I don't see the use for that. People subscribe to your site's feed so they'll be notified of new posts. So, if you had a feed for each post, then
1. How would people know about it?
2. Once they subscribed to it, there wouldn't be anything new to the feed (unless you change the post or the feed includes new comments).

So people can print a specific post as a PDF document. I use http://www.rss2pdf.com to convert the latest posts to PDF (see http://www.rss2pdf.com/index.php?url=http://kraemers.us/xmlsrv/rdf.php?blog=5).
I want to be able to do this:
It's only for printing purposes, not for subscribing with a feed reader.
I would then add a link at the bottom of each post that says/does something like "View as PDF"
Ah, I see.
Turns out, this is possible. You just take the url for the rss feed and add on &title= and then the title:

Thanks.
There's a lot more uses for rss feeds than just subscribing with feed readers. Every website requires your rss feeds to use their services.
Blog posts by Email (Bloglet, Feedblitz, Rmail, RssFwd, etc.)
Blog posts as PDF documents (rss2pdf.com, rss2pdf.org, etc.)
Blog posts as podcasts (talkr.com)
Blog posts as HTML (rss2html.com, feedburner.com, etc.)
Republishing Blog feeds (feedburner.com, etc.)
and much more.
I'm having a little trouble calling up the post title. I can call up the whole permalink with
<?php $Item -> permalink() ?>
.
Do I put 'title' in the ()?
Sorry, I am bad when when it comes to php.
This should help.

That sounds eerily familiar. You can jump to the last post in the thread to get the code you need.
Is anybody using talkr.com?
If yes, could you provide a link to your site. I'd like to see how you are using it and how it works (pronunciation, reading, etc)...
are there other similar services to talkr.com?
Thanks in advance,
Edgar,
This functionality isn't built in, but you can add it on with a hack:
