Q. How do I create my own FlipBook?
All you need to do is upload your publication in PDF format, our software converts the PDF file into a fully functional pageflip in just a couple of minutes without any technical expertise required.
Q. How much does it cost?
You can create unlimited trial pageflips at no cost. If you are happy with the result and want to publish it at your own website/cd-rom/or any other medium, you can purchase the pageflip for just $72 per publication.
Q. How do I put the FlipBook on my website
After the payment is done, you get a zip file which contains all the converted files. This zip file is all you need to publish your magazine, brochure etc. Just extract it and upload the files to your website or burn it on a cd-rom, and it's done.
Q. Is there a minimum number of pages that a PDF must have to be converted?
The minimum pages required is FOUR pages. Anything less is not really a brochure/magazine/etc. and will look weird. There is NO maximum number of pages.
Q. All of my pages look squished, what is happening?
Please make sure that the pages in your PDF are separated. If for example page 2 and 3 of your document aren't separated, they will be seen as one page which causes the squished look. Separating all pages will fix this problem. Contact the designer of the document if you don't know how to do this.
Q. What files are supplied when i purchase the pageflip?
After purchase you'll receive the following files:
- the actual pageflip in swf format
- a html file with an embed code in it as an example of how to use the pageflip
- html files with textual content for google to index
- jpg files of the pages for turning the pages
- swf files of the pages for high resolution zooming
Q. Is it possible to link email addresses in the pageflip?
You can easily add email addresses by typing the following into the link editor:
mailto:youremail@address.com
Q. Do i have to purchase a converted pageflip again after i downloaded it?
Once you made a purchase, the purchased pageflip will be downloadable as many times as you wish. The expiration date will be disabled so you can access the pageflip anytime you want.
Q. Can i edit, add or delete links after i purchased the pageflip?
It is always possible to edit, add or delete links, even after purchase.
Q. What is the maximum file size i can upload?
We put a maximum of 100MB into the upload-form. Please inform us about your file if it's bigger than 100MB. Files that are bigger than 100MB are most likely saved in print quality, which isn't necessary for your online pageflip.
