As much I like Coinbase I would never tell anyone to trust online wallets with their BTC.  First you need to download a wallet on your computer, its not hard really.  Multibit, or Armory would be good.  Then transfer all your BTC to your offline wallet.  Now you can make your PDF backup.  Smiley

A word about Multibit.  It does not, I believe, come with an option to encrypt itself so you would probably want to store it in an encrypted container like a file generated by True Crypt.  I hear there are other encrypted container making software out there too.
