PDF to Flash Page Flip

CONVERT YOU PDF FILES INTO A FLASH FLIPPING BOOK MOVIE with codebox




How does it work?

Given a PDF file will chop it into separated SWF movies, one per each page found in the document. It will create an XML file with all the parameters needed to feed the book. Finally it will bundle altogether in a ready to use zip file.

Can I modify the contents of the output file?

Yes. In fact if you need to do some media substitution such as embed video, jpeg images or SWF movies, you have to do it manually. Place your content within the data/pages/ directory and edit data/pages.xml if you need to add/delete pages.

Can I use this on my web site?

Yes. This is a free service and Dynamic Page Flip v2 and SWFTools are free and open source.

Can I use this offline?

Yes. All you need is a computer with flash player installed (as most of personal computers do). The page flipper can work stand alone launching it directly (double-click on book.swf) or within a web browser (double click on index.html).
