No. Open the app in a modern desktop or mobile browser. A desktop or laptop is recommended for detailed page layout and printing.

No. You upload your own Bible text as UTF-8 TXT files. Please ensure you have permission to use and print the translation.

Use a UTF-8 plain-text (.txt) file, with chapter headings and numbered verses. PDF, Word and EPUB files are not directly accepted by this version.

Use a chapter line such as Luke 1 or Chapter 1, followed by numbered verses such as 1 Verse text. Unnumbered lines are interpreted as section headings.

Single-translation mode displays sample text until you upload your own file. This is a demonstration, not your selected Bible text.

Yes. Choose Parallel translations / languages, upload separate UTF-8 TXT files and choose side-by-side columns or stacked verses.

Yes. You can upload a primary translation, a second translation and an optional third translation.

Parallel mode aligns by chapter and verse number, not by matching sentence meaning. Use files with consistent chapter and verse numbering.

The app leaves that translation’s space blank for the missing verse.

Yes. The primary text uses the Bible text style settings. The second and third translations have their own font, size and colour settings.

Try a suitable CJK font installed on your device, confirm the TXT file is UTF-8, and check the final PDF. Some browsers may substitute fonts.

A4, A5, B5 and US Letter are supported, in portrait or landscape orientation.

Type the page number in the preview Page field and select Go, or press Enter. First and Last buttons also provide quick navigation.

Select Print / Save PDF and choose Save as PDF in your browser’s print dialog. The app uses browser printing rather than a separate PDF generation service.

Browsers can render print pages, fonts and page breaks differently. Check print scaling, paper size, browser headers and footers, and the finished PDF.

Use Save settings to download a JSON file, then Load settings to restore it. Re-select your Bible TXT files and images.

In the supplied version, Bible TXT files and images are read in your browser. The app does not include a feature that sends their contents to a server.

You can upload long text files, but performance and pagination depend on your device and browser. Test smaller books first and carefully inspect the output before large print jobs.
