Flip book software
Hello
I'm trying to source a decent, not too pricey Flip Book software suitable for Mac.
Currently, the company we hire to create them uses http://flippingbook.com/ but having looked on their website it appears it will only work on PC's.
Can anyone suggest something similar that will work on Mac?
Thanks
As a person who reads information on the internet I can't tell you how much I dislike flip books. They are chosen by people who think they are cute rather than think about the customer experience. I have several nice PDF readers, I can download a PDF, zoom as I want, search, read offline, quickly print, I have control. Frankly if a business just throws a flip book at me I can't be bothered to look at their products, they obviously value gloss over actual use.
Hah! I just followed a link in the firs postt "Are your readers still dowloading PDFs from your site? Take advantage of FlippingBook technology and your audience will feel the difference."
Yes, right, we feel the difference all right and go elsewhere. This suggests there's something wrong or uncool about downloading PDFs. This is the sort of thought that would swap the car pedals around because the old arrangement is old fashioned.

Can a digital magazine like Flipping Book be embedded into a site designed with Muse? If so how?
I assume you are talking about Flipping Book Publisher software (www.flippingbook.com). I have done this very easily. In the flipping book software you need to make sure that the sharing feature is enabled and export out the .html file. Once you have exported and you have it installed on your website, click on the sharing button on your flip
catalog software. You can then copy the embed code from this window and paste it into Muse (see attached screen shot). -

Issue Concerning Flip Book Creation using In Design and converting document to SWF file
Hello. We are a charitable organization which publishes an annual magazine. I have been looking at better ways show our magazine on the web and like the FLIP BOOK format. I have created a sample here -- 2014 Magazine When you look at this you will see that there is an issue with a white page showing at the front and the back of the magazine. I prefer the 2 page format. Have tried in one page - don't like it. I also don't have funding available to purchase more software to do this. While I appreciate they exist, I get the result I want I just don't want the first white page or the last white page to show. Does anyone know if there is a work around. We do our website design with Muse.

Are you ok with the magazine not showing on Tablets? And the text is almost illegible because of the low res.
When you look at this you will see that there is an issue with a white page showing at the front and the back of the magazine.
When you export a swf you can choose use Paper as the background color. A swf movie's stage is one static pixel dimension, so if you want spreads the stage would be set to the spread dimension. You get the Paper background color to the left of page 1, which is the empty stage.
A work around would be to set your InDesign Paper swatch color to match the HTML container background (#5F0F1C in your case) and then put a frame filled with white on the bottom layer behind every page. -
How do I create a flipping book in Adobe Flash?
Hello new friends,
I am a graphic designer with many years of experience in Creative Suite Design Standard software. However I'm just beginning to get into Flash and have a project where I need to create a simple page-flipping brochure. My client has a 3-fold borchure in both SWF and JPEG formats which she wants to turn into a Flash flipping book to post on her website. I have the CS3 Web Premium package but I want to know if I need a third-party page flip plug-in or does my version of Flash (9.0) include the page flip engine? Also where can I find a tutorial to build a flipping book in Flash as this would be very helpful in building one for the first time.
Many thanks in advance for any help you guy and gals can give me!
Best,
.stephenThanks for all the help and suggestions!
If anyone's interested I did find a site that looks like it has some good information regarding creating flip books (step by step) and they also sell page flip software that seems to work really well (as seen in the demos). Here's the site: http://www.pageflip.hu/ (PageFlip 3.5) In the third paragraph of the home page there is a greyed out link "online documentation." Select that link and it will take you to their documentation on how to build a flip file using their software. Fairly simple approach. I will probably purchase this software.
System requirements for PageFlip 3.5 — Any browser with Adobe Flash player 8 installed; Adobe Flash 8 to edit source files.

Which is best way to create a web Flip Book?
I am creating a spec book of about 200 pages and it used to print and go in a binder but now it needs to be on web as a flip book.
Since I do all the production work in InDesign I hoped it could be an export.
I have heard about http://page-flip.com/ and http://www.freshcatalog.com/ but should I have to pay for more software if I can do it in InDesign?
Will a 200 page project be a monster of a file size and would that cause performance issues?
I appreciate opinions on this issue.
Thanks Jim KPlease point this "Nobody here is under any obligation to answer your question…" in the "Community guidelines". Ether this rule is buried somewhere deep or it does not exist. Id like to point out that we are your customers granted you're our only realistic choice, but we do not work for Adobe. So most of us do not know all the "in's and out" within trying to find Adobe product solutions. It would be very troubling if your customers became expert in navigating through your "community help".

Flash 10 Media Rich Flip Book Advice
I would like to create a flip book which deploys flv video similar to the example below.
http://mag.talksport.net/1V4b03db94b67ca012.cde
I have purchased the HTML version of Flippingbook from the site below but have encountered various problems, in that it only supports Flash 9 +actionscript 2.0. Also the facility is problematic with zooming swf files. Great for flat brochures but not able to deploy flv video within swf files which is a shame.
http://www.page-flip.com/products/flippingbook-html-edition/http://www.page-flip.com/downloads/
If anyone can point me in the right direction I would be very gratefull. I am not sure if it is software or a flash plug in that is required. I have been banging my head against the wall with this one.
MarvinSorry for the delay in replying over the xmas break. Thanks again for your help, I will have a look at your alternative suggestion.
Happy New Year to you!

Hi,
I've searched everywhere but I haven't found a good answer.
Is there an efficient way to convert the PDF file created by RoboHelp into a flip page ebook?
thanks in advance.......healewis wrote:
Hi to prevent me from downlaoding unwanted software again, (i.e., Genieo) could anyone tell me where I can get reliable software that let me convert a pdf document into a flip book to view online of on a browser if downloaded?
Just stay away from Softonic and any Torrent sites. I believe I read that C|Net's Download[dot]com has started to package adware with a few of their offerings, as they have been doing to PC Users for years.
MacUpdate has so-far been a reliable download site, but I prefer to always go to the developer for my third party apps. When I Google "pdf to flip mac" I see several choices. Since I've not used any of them I can't really recommend anything specific.
I would prefer open source if there are any out there.

Create flip book/online catalogue
I've checked almost every possible way to do this. But not found a simple and effective way to do it. The issue is making a simple flip book of a InDesign document, which i can upload to a server. I need it to flip pages, have working links and the possibility to zoom in and out. Is this possible in InDesign or any other Adobe software. Everything I've found until now I have to know coding or buy some expensive software. I need something quick and easy
The links doesn't work because the urls have a red dot on it in the hyperlinks panel in InDesign. Anyone know why that happens?
Missing http:// at the beginning of URL?
You can try eDocker CREATE! as well; http://www.edocker.com/edocker/edocker-create/
You can make html5 web-apps with it... you can try fully functional trial version for free... -
Url link in flash page flip book
I am very inexperienced at what I am trying to accomplish.
I have created a flip book in flash. On a page in the book I made a button that is a link to an external url. When I place the the swift file of that page on my webstie, the link works. I have made a link from my homepage to the flipbook. But when I open the flip book the url link does not work.
Does anyone out there know what's wrong?
thanksIf the flip page the swf is in has interactive code asigned to it, such as whatever you use to flip the page, it could be blocking access to any clickable objects in the swf file.

Looking for a simple flip book template for Flash CS5
Hi, I'm looking for a simple flip book template for Flash CS5 for a 20 page brochure/ booklet. Or a tutorial. Does anyone know of one?
Thanks!Hi Mark,
No need to restrict your choice to the preset Pages Templates. Do a web search and choose a Word template. Pages will open Word documents and templates. Or design your own:
This is a Table I inserted into a blank Pages Word Processing document. Format the date column in Inspector > Table > Format > Cell Format. Select the first Date cell,then drag the fill handle down to increment the dates.

Mac Book Software Update not working (Software Update does not have any new software for your computer at this time), my current MacBook version is 10.5.8.
As a result I can't update iTunes, version 10.5.2 (This software requiers Mac OS X version 10.6.8 or later)
Now when I connect my iPhone 4, version iOS 6 iTunes can't connect to iPhone (The iPhone "XXXXX's iPhone" cannot be used because it requiers iTunes version 10.6.3 or later.)
so in a nutshell can't use iphone 4, because iTune is not updated and will not update because Mac Book is not up to date and will not update either.
Please help.
Thank you

Hey Everyone,
I created an catalog using indesign and now I want to convert that into a pdf flip book. I have exported it as a SWF then changing the SWF back into a pdf. It works great however, I keep getting a blank white page next too my cover page, and I really don't want this. I find it very distracting and visually unappealing. Is there any way to get rid of this blank white page? Or any other suggestions on how to create a flip book out of an indesign file.It sounds as if you're not checking the pagination properties of the chapter after the problem within the book file.
The book file settings always trump the component file's settings.
So this would mean that, if Chapter 3 is set in the book file to start on a Right page, the book enforces this by adding a blank page to Chapter 2.
You should be able to fix this by selecting all the component chapters in the book, right-clicking and setting all the pagination properties to start on Next Available page, but I don't have 7 on this system so I can't give you the exact key strokes.

"Flip-book" like image effect in Captivate 5
Hello all ! New to the forum and pretty new to captivate over here ! I just wondered if you could help me with something ! How to make a flip-book like image effect ? There is an example on slide 3 of this Captivate example : http://www.adobe.com/products/captivate/educators/include/softskills_training/modal.html?w idth=752&height=440 Any help would be great ! And.. why is it everytime I press Enter it it drops the whole paragraph instead of making a new line ? Thanks !
I noticed the link doesn't seem to work,http://www.adobe.com/uk/products/captivate/
The presentation I mean is called "soft skills training"
Any help would be great !Hi Scott.
As far as I know, that is not a function built into Cp5. It looks like some kind of flash animation/widget built otuside Captivate and then imported.
If someone else knows otherwise, please chime in. Or if that widget can be downloaded somewhere, I'd love to take a look at it. -
