Concerning the Bible you have in .PDF Format. If it is a normal .PDF file in standard Adobe format and no weird characters, etc.. are embedding within, I can probably convert it to .docx (Word) format. From there it can be converted to .rtf format. The eSword NT Tooltip Program creates .rtf files which are then converted into proper format for use with e-Sword. I have never created my own Bible (.bblx) file for e-Sword, although I know how. I sometimes get started creating Commentary files for e-Sword by converting ..PDF files to Word Format. From within Word they can be saved as .rtf files for use with the Tooltip program.
Now, I am assuming you can do the same with BIbles that are in .PDF format. I would dare say that that each verse would have to be in it's own line or paragraph within the .PDF file. I sent an old hard copy of E.M Zerr's Commentary (six volumes) to a fellow Christian in Arizona who specializes in OCR scanning of books into .PDF and .TXT format. I have the entire Zerr's Commentary in .TXT format posted on my website if you want to take a look at it. The file is located at this DROPBOX webpage:===> CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD the Text Version of Zerr's NT Commentary. This page is via Dropbox.com. What Ido is go into the .TXT file (Converted from PDF format) and copy the commentary for each chapter into the Tooltip program for e-Sword. From within the Tooltip program I then inserted the necessary code, etc. to format the text for use with e-Sword, then I compile the file into Commentary (.cmtx) format.
I know the example above is mainly for use with creating commentary files, but I don't see why the same idea can't work with creating Bible (.bblx) files for use with e-Sword. You're welcome to use the link above to download the text file. It was created(converted) from .PDF Format. It was done with Software I don't have. But I am able to take a .PDF file and convert into WORD format. From there I convert it into .RTF and .TXT format and simple insert portions (1 chapter at a time) into the Tooltip program. Seems to work pretty good that way.
Hope that helps. I will take a look at you .PDF File. If it's not too large and isn't too "weird" I can probably convert it to WORD format for you, but that is no guarantee it will come out right. Any weird characters, code, etc within you .PDF file might not work. But, who knows? It's worth a try. Visit my sight at http://djmarko53.wixsite.com/churchbooks .
