You can select PDF, HTML or image (Bitmap and JPEG) files to be inserted as pages of your FlipBook.

 

 

 

Add Files

 

To add files into FlipBook, click the Add button. You will see the following dialog box:

 

 

Click the Browse... button to select files13 (.PDF, .HTML, .JPG, .BMP) from local hard disk or enter the URL of HTML file. All the PDF files that are added must have the same PDF password. (See Add PDF Password.)

 

 There are two types of PDF documents, i.e. single-page PDF and multiple-page PDF. (See Two Types of PDF.)

 

 

 

 

 You need to optimize your PDF documents before adding them in FlipBook Creator. (See PDF Optimization.)

 

 

 

 

Remove Files

 

To remove files from FlipBook, select those files and click the Remove button.

 

If you want to remove all files, click the Remove All button.

 

 

Move Up and Move Down

 

To adjust the position of a file in the FlipBook, select the file and click the Move Up or Move Down buttons.

 

The files will be sequentially (top to bottom) arranged and displayed as corresponding pages in the FlipBook.

 

 

Preview a File

 

To preview a file that you have selected, double-click the file name. The file will be opened with the default application that is associated with the extension of the file name.

 

It is useful if you associate the PDF extension with Adobe Acrobat as you would be able to add links to your PDF page by double-clicking the PDF file name to launch Adobe Acrobat. (See Add Links to PDF.)

 

 

Preview in BV

 

If you have added files into the FlipBook, you can preview your FlipBook for BV by clicking the Preview in BV button. Click the splash screen of FlipViewer BV to launch the FlipBook.

 

During preview, you will not be able to access the FlipBook Creator program. You can return to the FlipBook Creator program after exiting from preview.

 

Limitation:

 

The look-and-feel of the FlipBook for FlipViewer BV shown during preview may not be the same when viewed in different Web browsers as the Preview uses the Internet Explorer installed in your machine.

 

 

Preview in FV2

 

If you have added files into the FlipBook, you can preview your FlipBook for FlipViewer by clicking the Preview in FV button. Please make sure you have the latest version of PC FlipViewer (FV) installed in your machine before previewing.

 

A dialog box will be displayed for you to select preview permissions. The preview permissions that you select will affect how your FlipBook for FlipViewer looks like during preview, but will not assign any permission to your FlipBook. Select the preview permissions and click the OK button to preview your FlipBook in FlipViewer.

 

During preview, you will not be able to access the FlipBook Creator program. You can return to the FlipBook Creator program after exiting from FlipViewer.

 

 If you are publishing FlipBook for FlipViewer (Embedded license), you will not see the dialog box popped out to ask you to select preview permissions. You will preview the FlipBook based on the permissions specified at the DRM Settings (3).

 

 

 

 

Limitation:

 

Preview in FV enables you to preview your FlipBook for FlipViewer in PC FlipViewer only. Your FlipBook for FlipViewer may not be the same when viewed in Mac FlipViewer.

 

 

Notes:

1 If you cannot select PDF or HTML files, it means that your FlipBook Creator ID does not have the permissions.

2 Applicable to PC FlipViewer only

3 To create FlipBooks for FlipViewer BV, you can only select PDF, HTML or images (.BMP, .JPEG) as your source files.
