Parallel Texts – How To View The Chapters Side-By-Side!

Viewing the chapters of your parallel text ebook side by side (so as to compare the different languages) is not hard, but probably won’t happen automatically.

There are a few simple, free things you’ll need to do first.

The file is a .pdf so will open with whatever the default .pdf reader on your device is.

These can vary and will probably NOT show the chapters side-by-side, as intended.

For this reason, we recommend the free Adobe Reader, which is installed on many computers in any case.

If you don’t have it, download it here (though I’d suggest un-checking the ‘Optional Offers’…)

Once you have Adobe Reader installed, this is what you do:

  1. Download the file
  2. Don’t just click on it or it will open in a browser, which probably works differently
  3. Instead, view it in your device’s downloads file
  4. Open with Adobe Reader (right click on the file, choose ‘Open with’, select Adobe Reader)
  5. In Adobe Reader…
  6. Look in the menu (at the top) for ‘View’, then choose ‘Page display’
  7. Choose ‘two page view’ (for the parallel text) or ‘single page view’ for normal documents
  8. Use ‘View’ / ‘Read mode’ to make the text larger or smaller so that it fits your screen
  9. Use the ‘zoom’ and ‘page up/down’ buttons to navigate through the book

  1. Fran

    I enjoyed reading this story with it’s touch of humour. I’m sure that a number of us can relate to Angela’s mishaps. This year I’ve started rereading these books from A2 level and slowly working my way through my rather large collection. I’m definately feeling a kick of confidence in the quality of my conversations 🙂

  2. Jerome O’Brien

    Just right for Level A1/2. It is a good introduction to this series. In the first chapter, I think I would prefer “sono ingegnere” to “sono un ingegnere”, and, having introduced proper accents on the lower case letters, I would rather have seen È than E’ in the third paragraph.

    I enjoyed this story and learnt quite a lot of new words and expressions. I managed to print it out with Adobe reader as instructed.
