Keep her on a lead. When people come over, don't allow them to approach her until she is in a sit or a down position. Make sure they only pet her and give her attention if she is in a sit or a down position. If she jumps, step on the lead and don't let her get all over the visitor.
Same with you, don't let her jump on you. If she jumps, fold both arms across your chest and turn to the side so she flies through the air and lands on the ground, not on you.. Don't give her attention until she's sitting on the ground with all four paws on the floor. Pushing the dog away, kneeing the dog in the chest and yelling at the dog just encourage the behavior.
Take your dog to obedience class so she can learn some common commands and a few manners around different people.

You have to do training sessions, consistently
1) Start with having someone come towards your dog (keep your dog on a leash). When they go up to him set him back down and say no. Continue doing this. When the dog finally doesn't jump up give them a treat.
2) Move the situation to someone coming to the door (but not in to your dog). Repeat the same reward/restrict behavior.
3) Move the situation to someone coming in the door then coming over to your dog. Repeat the same reward/restrict behavior.
This may take a few weeks to firmly correct. Perform this in 10-20 min sessions.

Dogs tend to jump up to be on the higher level. I would recommend dominance training to show him who is boss. With my husky we had everyone come over make him sit. At first is experienced dog people. If he did not sit they would pin him until he gave up. If he sat right away they would give him a really good petting and a treat. This treatment does NO harm to the dog. It is similar to what the mother does.

We put a leash on our pup, and let them walk around the house with it dragging behind him. When company comes, we allowed him to greet, but if he as much as acted as if he was going to jump up on them, I just stepped on the leash. Keeps the dog in the position you'd prefer (rather than pulling UP on the leash). This sort of gives them a self-correction. carry on your conversation as normal and step on the leash each time they start to jump. When they sit and behave, praise her.
This way there's no yelling and minimal frustration for both you and the dog.
Worked for us. Stay consistant in your corrections. Jumping up even when playing should not be allowed. Good luck.

Like all pets you have to have a ton of patients.
Every time your dog jumps up you tell him/her NO and Down (or what ever command you want) and then put him/her to the ground. You continue to do that until he/she understands and learns.
Once again this might take a long time so you have to learn not to loose your temper.
patients patients patients.
Pets are a great time. I have had dogs for years and they need a lot of love and patients.

Take your knee and push them with it(not hard)when they jump up on you. This is listed in dog books in the training section.

Give her the "off" command each time she does it and reward her when all four paws are on the floor. It is best to practice this with her by going in and out of a room or the front door (because she probably jumps on you everytime she sees you). Ignore her until her paws are on the floor and then reward her by petting her and giving her a treat.

When the dog jumps on you, gently knee it in the chest, hard enough to make it exhale. After awhile it'll stop
