Flippy PDF to Flipbook Generator Tool (Images and Media)

Product Description

This web application tool helps to generate a flipbook from any PDF files and manage those books by web interface. A flipbook is a small book with a series of printed images which create the illusion of motion when the pages of the book are rapidly flipped. Typically, a flipbook is held in one hand while the thumb of the other flicks the pages, and the user concentrates on the middle of each page.

You don’t need to have the flash player for this solution, so it should work fine for iPad and other mobile devices.

Demo

• flippy-demo1.dev4pro.com Flipbook Generator Management App
• flippy-demo2.dev4pro.com Flipbook Embed Demo App

You can use the result package with any type of server side solution (.Net, PHP, Ruby on Rails, simple html site), so just add an iframe with the follow link: http://flippy-demo1.dev4pro.com/Book/45 (in order to prove of concept) and see how it looks like. The generated package looks pretty the same.
