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

  2. Paul Watson (verified owner)

    I enjoyed this parallel text story and found it a very helpful learning tool. It was a bit short but apart from that no complaints.

      Thanks for the review, Paul. Our stories at this level are intentionally very short, which is part of what makes them suitable for beginners or near beginners. The idea is that they will be easy to get through for a student at a given stage in the learning process, and so motivating, compared to say an authentic text.

      If you check out the higher level ebooks, you’ll see that they are much longer. The price is the same. There are sample chapters for ALL of our ebooks, so it’s possible to see what the material is like before buying it.
