What the PDF Holds
The PDF is the office on your screen: the same day, the same rite, and the same readings and the same prayers of the BCP. The copyright notice for its scripture is printed at the foot of the last page.
What follows your settings
A few choices about the page are kept in the PDF too:
- BCP Page Numbers: each heading shows its page in the BCP. Turn it off, under The Page in Settings, to leave the page numbers out of the PDF as well.
- Psalm and Reading verse numbers, and the layout of the Readings, under Scripture in Settings. The NRSVue’s keep their paragraphs and their notes.
- Responses, under The Page in Settings: the People’s words in bold or italic, if you set them so.
The PDF does not take your theme, typeface or text size. It is always set like the BCP itself: serif type, dark on white, with the directions in red.
What it leaves out
Your Prayer List is never in the PDF. The names you pray for stay on your device.
Apple TV cannot make a PDF. To share an office, use Daily Office on another device.
