Choose a Bible study you've written using the Studies tool and turn it into PDF files. You can also generate customized Bible PDFs, but currently only the hyphenation level can be customized, and that's first set on the Settings page. To see your generated study PDFs go to the main Study page, which is linked at the top of every page. To see your generated Bible files go to the main Bible page then go to "Your Own" area. You might have to refresh that page to see your new files.
Files are generated for all combinations of selected options under each of the following areas:
Choose "Tagged" to show each word's grammatical part of speech, which might be useful as a study aid. "Not Tagged" leaves this off. See the POS Tags page to learn more about Bible tagging.
Choose "Self-Pronouncing" to show pronunciation marks on all proper names, and on a few other words. The system of marking was given by Henry Redpath in The Oxford self-pronouncing Bible of 1897. Refer to his prefatory note from that Bible.
Choose standard paper sizes to generate PDFs with those page sizes. 8.5x11 is also known as "Letter" and is most common in the United States. 5.5x8.5 is exactly half of that, so it'll print as a folded booklet on 8.5x11 sheets, if your printer supports booklet printing. A4 is most common outside of the United States, and A5 is exactly half of that.
Smaller point sizes fit more on a page by using smaller letters, but can be harder to read.
Bible PDFs can always be generated as "Tagged" or "Self-Pronouncing," but study PDFs require you to include those tags or marks in your text when you write your studies. You do this using the Chapters panel as discussed in the help on the Studies page. Generating study PDFs with options that you didn't write into your text makes PDFs that are labeled as "Self-Pronouncing" or "Tagged" but that really aren't.
Since documents are generated for every combination of the selected options under each area, you multiply to get the total number of documents you'll generate. For example, if you pick one tagging option, two version options, two page size options, and three point size options, you'll generate twelve PDFs because 1x2x2x3=12. Be especially mindful of this if you generate customized books of the Bible, because that number also gets multiplied by the number of books you're generating, which is sixty-six if you pick "All Books."
Regardless of how many PDFs you request, there's a limit on how long a generation can run, so all your files might not get generated. The limit depends on the number and sizes of the PDFs requested, but it's usually between ten to twelve minutes or so. Under no condition can it run more than fifteen minutes. If you see that not all your files were generated then note which ones are still needed and run a new generation to create some or all of these remaining files. Don't just re-run the same generation or you'll just regenerate the same files.
Since a generation can take several minutes, it's queued on the backend and you get a message when the backend picks it up off the queue and starts it, and then another message when it's done. Go to the Settings page to change how you get messages.
