Exporting

When you click on the "Export PDF" button in the Main Window, you get the following choices:

  • Singleplage PDF (A4)
  • Printable PDF (A5)
  • Default PDF (A5)

Those are the export options the application offers. For exporting the application uses the currently selected collection and omits deactivated songs. The exporting itself uses a headless browser to convert each page of the songbook to a PDF document. These documents are then merged into the final document. Therefore you need to have a Chromium-base browser (such as Chrome, Edge) installed on your device. The program is capable of finding such a browser automatically. If that is not the case, you need to specify the path to the browser executable (.exe file) in the settings. Alternatively the program will offer to download a Chromium browser for you, but keep in mind that browser binaries may be quite large.

Singlepage PDF (A4)

This export option outputs a PDF file with one page for one song ration. In other words each song is printed to its own vertically oriented A4 page. Example A4 output

Printable PDF (A5)

This export option outputs a PDF file in format for two-sided printing. A page of the songbook represents a page of the document of course horizontally oriented. One song will be on a half of A4 page (on an A5 page). Example A5 duplex output

Default PDF (A5)

This export option is simmilar to the previous one only with the difference that the songs are ordered alphabetically and thus it is not suitable for two-sided printing.
