Choose a Bible study you've written using the Studies page and turn it into PDF files. You can also generate Bible PDFs, but first you should customize something about your Bible, by either writing your own chapter summaries as described in the "Chapter Summaries" section of the help on the Chapters page, and/or by changing the hyphenation level in the "Hyphenation" section of the Settings page.
To see your new PDFs you can click on the links in the message you get when they're done. You can always find all your study PDFs under the main Study area (which is linked at the top of every page), and see all your custom Bibles at the main Bible page under "Your Own" area. Navigate the document trees there to find your stuff, and then you might have to refresh the page to see newly generated documents.
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, and is described in his prefatory note to the self-pronouncing 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.
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."
Bible PDFs can always be generated as "Tagged" or "Self-Pronouncing," but study PDFs require you to include those annotations in your text when you write your studies. You do this using the Chapters panel as discussed in the help on the Studies page. If you generate study PDFs for annotations that you didn't put in your text when you wrote the study, you'll make PDFs that are labeled "Self-Pronouncing" or "Tagged" but that really aren't.
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. The done message includes links to each of the generated PDFs. Go to the "Messaging" section of the Settings page to change your messaging options and to learn more about PDF links in messages.
Select "Email PDFs" if you want the PDFs from this batch sent to your email as attachments. All your documents are always available under the Bible and Study areas, and, as discussed in the Messaging section above, links to newly-generated PDFs are already included in the message you get when a batch is done. So it's likely you won't need to also request emailed PDFs here, but, it can be convenient to have the actual files delivered to your inbox. There are also some things to consider about the security of links in email messages, as discussed in the Messaging section of the the Settings page, and if you go with emailed attachments instead of links then you don't have to think about any of that.
You pay a one-time transfer cost for attachments, based on the total size of all the attached files. See the Pricing page for details, and note that, although charges are generally only a fraction of a cent, sending an email attachment of a file does cost a bit more than viewing or downloading that file directly from the site or using an emailed link. Also be aware that your email service provider might block emails with large attachments, but you pay the attachment transfer charge even if the email is blocked.
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 your batch runs too long then you'll see a new button appear near the top of the screen, and you can requeue just the missed files. If you're not logged in on the Generate page when a batch times out, then the next time you visit you'll be offered the requeue button. This all happens only if the most-recent batch has timed out. Once you submit any batch that does run to completion, the reminder shuts off.
Whenever a batch times out, remember to not just re-run the same batch, or you'll just regenerate the same files.
