Flipsnack

Overview

Flipsnack is a powerful tool that allows you to upload marketing pdfs and catalogs and display them on your site.  The service does require a subscription.  Pricing is available here.  The steps below will take you through the basic management of your flipbook.

• After logging into Flipsnack, upload your pdf file.

 

 

• After uploading your flipbook; you'll see it listed on the "All Flipbooks" page.  
• Now you can edit the settings; click "edit" under the flipbook.

• On the settings tab; the defaults will be:
  • Widget Type: Classic
  • Layout Style: Single Page
  • Tooltip Language: English
  • These defaults are fine but of course can be changed as needed!
  • Background Color: This applies a background that often looks like a bar behind your flipbook.  The color can be changed to anything you like.  Transparent is a great option because it doesn't distract from the Flipbook.

• The Fullscreen Control Defaults are:
  • Allow Fullscreen: Enabled
  • Enable PDF Download
    • This is typically NOT checked.
  • Enable PDF Print
    • Disabled
  • Thumbnail Navigation: Enabled

• On the next screen, select Embed one more time.

• Paste the code into the editor.

• Your flipbook should be published and ready to share!

 

Flipbooks can be customized by adding links, videos, additional images and more.  To do this you need to click Edit from the dashboard and then open the Editor.
