Thread

Greetings all,

I have a client who publishes a twice-yearly brochure detailing the programs they offer (the brochure is printed and mailed to their list). This year, they made a PDF of the brochure available for download, but what I would like to do is offer an embedded pop-up PDF viewer so there’s no downloading, and so people can flip through the brochure on the site.

I’ve looked a bit at Issuu.com and so far it seems like it might be fine, but I’m wondering: does anyone out there have other recommendations or advice?

Thanks in advance!

Scribd.com.

Thanks for the reply! I’m new to this, but what I’m actually looking for is a pop-up window I can have on my clients website that acts as a PDF reader, so the viewer can flip pages, etc. I didn’t notice that as a possibility on scribd.com (although I may have missed it).

Try this:

Using Scribd.com or you download software for using

I’m not sure Adobe will provide licenses for people to create Web based PDF editor.

I have used FlexPaper with great success.  It has both GPL and commercial options.  The commercial price is pretty reasonable considering what it does.

You may quickly creates a pdf online viewer if you use RasterEdge PDF viewer add-on function, with zero scrpit, you may load any PDF document, after this, pdf page annotation and processing are allowed.

Hi!
If you want something fancy with page flipping, you could go with something mentioned above.
If you prefer more Adobe Reader like solution, you could give a try to pdf.js (developed by Mozilla and used in Firefox). That can be easily embeded in any web page/popup.

Prizm just released an EE add-on for their cloud-based document viewer. Looks like a nice addition:

You can try solarsail’s solution:

Try this:

plus add to the link tag a target _blank attribute if you want it to display in a popup window:

<a target="_blank">Link</a>

definitely check out http://devot-ee.com if you haven’t already.

Here is one solution for your reference, use Kvisoft PDF flip page software to convert PDF to flip brochure, and then upload the output publication to website server, embedded the flip brochure on the webpage, so people can click the fullscreen button to flip browse the pages just like flip a book on a pop-up window. Hope this helps!
