Hi Everyone,
Just wondering what your take on PDF flipping page technology. I'm aware Indesign allows the SWF output for PDF pages, but it doesn't build up a set of tools around it, like TOC and bookmark and adding notes etc. Or does it? I haven't tried exporting to SWF from InDesign yet?
I've been researching some sites on that distribute software that converts the PDF to a page flip book and then allows you to host it yourself on your own site.
That's important – hosting it ourselves.
Two I've been looking at are:
https://page-flip.com/
and
https://inhousedigitalpublishing.com
To my knowledge Adobe don't do a software package that lets you build a PDF flip book quite that easily. Although it would be great to have a drag and drop sort of application. I'm fairly certain of it – it would be cool if Adobe had a program like the above – I'm good with flash – but I wouldn't have time to build a template for every job and it's cumbersome to say the least – but here I am always looking for software to save time. And the above software does save time – it can be done.
Anybody use the two above or have any other suggestions for software?
