Reformat Modules?

Is it possible to export modules as a pdf or epub, to keep as a generic personal backup copy?
To jailbreak them out of a proprietary format, to be used with any ereader?
 
This applies to user-created content:

"Jailbreaking" implies that you are somehow forced to keep the content in SwordSearcher. It's an inappropriate label, because SwordSearcher has always allowed you to completely export your user modules.

As the manual explains, you can use the User > Advanced Module Maintenance to export your user module either as a Forge input file (which can be edited in any text editor) or as an HTML file, which you could load up in something like MS Word and then convert to other formats.


Since you want a PDF, you could just print your entire user module (see the User menu) to a PDF.

Now, if you are asking about using SwordSearcher as a source for other texts and extracting it, there is no way to do that. You'll need to seek another source for the data.

Sorry, "jailbreak" is the only term I know, to convert proprietary to generic. I didn't mean anything by it.

I didn't know this was in the manual. I thought my query was an exception. Thank you for the answer.
 
Actually, no I didn't ask about "user content". I asked about the books.

To keep a personal copy as a backup. And to be able to standardize all my different types of books into one format,
to use a single type of ereader for all of them, and for maintaining a books database.

Just in case you missed that.
