Flip PDF Plus

Much better than Joomag!

Kommentare: I was a longtime user of Joomag and had a horrible experience with them, forcing me to look elsewhere to publish my magazine. Flip Builder was a one-time purchase...I own the software and am no longer held hostage by Joomag's horrible customer service and monthly fees. I am finally FREE! I am thrilled by not having the huge financial commitment and BETTER features. It is virtually identical to Joomag in appearance, except the software is dependable. I also can forgo the negative, frustrating interactions with Joomag management when their lower level reps can't troubleshoot software problems. No more hold-ups while waiting for inexperienced customer service reps to screw up my account either. I am now master of my own domain and I am breathing easier now due to the switch-over.

Vorteile:

Easy to use -- actually offers more features than Joomag. Very cost effective. Does not hold you hostage like Joomag does. I was a longtime user of Joomag and found them to be a racket and to have unreliable software and snooty tech support. They also don't keep their agreements for the program you subscribe to. With Flip Builder you own the software outright so you are not beholden to expensive monthly subscriptions and can drive the traffic to your website. As the owner of a magazine, I am thrilled to get out from under "Big Brother" Joomag.

Nachteile:

Slow tech support and you are dealing overseas. There is more formatting to do and it does take a bit to get the hang of the software.

Professional Qulity

Kommentare: We needed a cost-effective solution for making interactive documents for families. This was the perfect solution. The software provides outstanding, professional results.

Vorteile:

The software is very easy to use and provides beautiful interactive documents that really highlight material while making the content user-friendly.

Nachteile:

We would love to see additional templates.

Continuing Audio Challenges with this User-Friendly Multi-MediaSoftware

Kommentare: Technical support from Hong Kong has been frustrating - very small window of awake time for sending and receiving messages immediately because of the time zone difference. The person assigned to my account has not been able to solve my audio challenges on her own and we have been held up on publishing our very first Flip PDF for [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] because of this. She should have had ready answers to my questions AND they should also be FAQ, e.g., should be stated that the audio format must be mp3 -- it took me a good week to get this vital information when I was using another extension. Then I did not get a clear answer to how to assign audio variably to single and double pages -- another FAQ should state that sound must be attached to single or double pages for the whole Flip book and user cannot mix single and double pages. I had to figure this out myself. Also no clear answer as to when Flip PDF will get updated to include a download function. I'm still waiting for a response to my query about the alternative for Flipbook sales when there is no download function. Access to a link is not a viable option for unique access to a publication. I am dissatisfied that no way to contact the supervisor or administrator for Flip PDF either by email or phone when the person assigned to me is clearly out of her depth. The last message she sent me was a screenshot for setting the playback function to zero, which is not even available in my version.

Vorteile:

Flip PDF meets the needs of our multi-media niche publishing company dedicated to the healing arts because it allows integration of text, audio, video, and hyperlinks into a flipbook. Also, user-friendly in that a moderately computer-savvy person can create a Flipbook without hiring technical help.

Nachteile:

The integration of the sound files has been unreliable. The playback function (number of rotations set to 0) worked on a trial file but when I published the final for publication under the [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] primatur, it repeated after every page.

I have been looking for a long time - now I have found it - very satisfied

Kommentare: But what truly stands out is the outstanding, prompt support I received. Every one of my eight inquiries was resolved within two hours, often even faster, with detailed explanations accompanied by both images and text. I have to specifically mention Choco, the service representative, who was simply exceptional. This is exactly what I envision when I think of effective online communication. Choco surpassed any chatbot by responding personally, helpfully, with understanding, and with a level of expertise that made all the difference. Each response allowed me to continue my work immediately. Thank you, Choco! You made the experience seamless and enjoyable.

Vorteile:

I recently had the pleasure of trying out FlipBuilder, and I must say, I am thoroughly impressed. The software transforms PDFs into "real" books – yes, real! They resemble physical books with simulated page-flipping, complete with a table of contents and bookmarks.

Nachteile:

Like least? - sorry, nothing to tell. I was able to learn it quickly and if I had read the tutorials better, I could have learned it with SUpport.

A solid option for budget-conscious marketers

Kommentare: Flip PDF is allowing us to transform large PDFs into professional, web-friendly eBooks while staying within our allotted marketing budget.

Vorteile:

I like that the software is not subscription-based. We don't do a ton of eBooks, so this is a great option for limited-budget marketing team.

Nachteile:

It took quite a bit of trial and error before I figured out how to format the book. Once I did, it worked fine, but future versions would benefit from a more user-friendly interface.

We've been using this product for many years. Still does the job well.

Kommentare: Support was always helpful and forthcoming.

Vorteile:

I like how I can create a HTML5 version of a PDF document that looks good.

Nachteile:

It takes a lot of time to get to all the settings and features. Development could be a bit faster. I don't need any Flash support anymore, for example.

Great Software Great Support

Kommentare: Excellent.... just easy to use, effective software. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] at Support is a great help also. Very helpful and responsive.

Vorteile:

The speed at which it take your PDF file... and in a few mins your publication could be live online looking glorious and interactive... literally 5mins from start to finish.

Nachteile:

Has occasional bug errors... but has never stopped me making a successful publication. Hopefully will be fixed in future software updates.

Great Natural Reading Experience at the Push of a Button!

Kommentare: Using Flip was an intuitive, quick and easy way to get my catalog together, looking fantastic, published, and distributed to my customers. Exactly what software should be and do.

Vorteile:

This software was exactly what was needed for my situation - I had a bunch of pages I wanted to make more than just a pdf, but something very close to a physical reading/browsing experience for my sales catalog.

Nachteile:

It was helpful for me to have photoshop skills but not essential as this software packs a pretty mean punch in terms of image editing and formatting.

With the Import Wizard, you can either select one of 5 preset profiles

Kommentare: Flip PDF is your easy way to batch convert ordinary PDF files into booklets

Vorteile:

Once you finish creating your flip book, it´s easy to publish it. Publications can be made either by importing PDF documents and images or from scratch using the built-in word processor. PDF files and images can be imported one by one or all at once.

Nachteile:

A bit pricy for my taste, maybe I am used to pay for aps on Google that are like affordable. However if you need this and you will use all the features, go for it.

Flip Book Makers Don’t Come Much Better!

Kommentare: So far my experience has been positive. I create content for a martial arts magazine and it makes it so much easier to publish online!

Vorteile:

The fact that I can create a PDF and simply point it to the software and it does the rest!

Nachteile:

I’ve not come across any cons yet! I’m hoping that this will continue to be the case.

Just What I Wanted

Kommentare: It’s exactly what I wanted.

Vorteile:

I wanted an online brochure of my listing, with multiple pages and to flip the page so that it was interactive. I was able to produce in one sitting a beautiful online marketing piece. The quality sets me apart from som many real estate agents entering the market.

Nachteile:

I don’t really have any cons. I am happy!

Very helpful tool to visually enhance your company's brand presence!

Kommentare: I've created over five flipbooks for the restoration company I work for and my bosses are happy with how innovative it looks.

Vorteile:

I love how easy it is to use to create and edit in the software. I didn't need a tutorial or anything. I just clicked around and it was pretty straight forward.

Nachteile:

At first, the given points that came with the software to purchase the books were confusing but I realized I didn't need them.

This was better than expected

Kommentare: Easy to use.

Vorteile:

Really easy to set up different sizes. I liked that the links in the pdf were available on the flip book on the website

Nachteile:

I did not really find anything I disliked about it. After a couple of tries, I found the right size for my flip book on the website.

Good Alternative

Kommentare: This is a nice alternative to standard .pdf publication, it offers a different experience for our readers and has been positively received.

Vorteile:

I publish our publications to the online bookcase so that readers have an alternative to the .pdf files which we publish on the website. This option also provides redundant publication protection. The software is straight forward and easy to use.

Nachteile:

What I like least about this software has nothing to do with the software. Many of our readers live in areas with minimal broadband speed - typically 3 Mbs or less - so they have to wait for the publications to buffer before they can read them.

Great product - Easy to use

Kommentare: We can produce endless digital catalogues and magazines to reach consumers across the globe, easily and seamlessly.

Vorteile:

I find this product so easy to use. I had never created digital publications using software like this before and I was able to teach myself right away.] The end result always looks great.

Nachteile:

It would be better for the marketing team if we incorporate page-by-page Google Analytics.

Excellent Flip Book Presentation

Kommentare: Clients were very pleased and impressed. Easy to create.

Vorteile:

Professional presentation, easy to use, easy to share with clients.

Nachteile:

I didn’t have any issues. It was fairly straightforward.

Loving It!

Vorteile:

Overall a great program that I have moved over from 3dIssue to. Like the one time cost instead of monthly recurring billings, the features are all there, and I'm sure I'll be finding more functionality as I grow with the software.

Nachteile:

Having a couple issues with some specific pdf files from the past, that we haven't solved yet but I'm confident that we will get the last issues to convert to their format.

Bad documentation/mediocre customer support

Kommentare: My first contact with customer support was prompt, but their answer did not fix my problem and then I have had no reply to my follow-up question.

Vorteile:

It has some nice features. Average ease of use.

Nachteile:

Only way to link to the flip book is to have it on their server. Can't get a dropbox link to work. Documentation is sometimes not readable--either it was written in Chinese and then translated or the person writing had little knowledge of English.

I love using Flip PDF to convert my lecture Materials and post them on my classroom website.

Kommentare: I will convert my lecture PDF files to my classroom website using Flip PDF, so students can read it anywhere without needing to download the file. This makes it easier for them to see any updates I make to the file on the classroom website.

Vorteile:

It easily integrates with the Joomla web system, which I use for my classroom website. It also has a lot of configurations to customize the e-book the way I want.

Nachteile:

I do not really like that this software can only be installed on two computers. Because I am a lecturer I have several devices in which I will need to use the software. I wish there is a web interface so users can deactivate the software in a device and activate the software on another device.

Historical documents made easy

Kommentare: My overall experience has been a positive one. I like how you can link a web page to the book.

Vorteile:

The ease of making documents stitch together as a book, makes it so much more pleasurable for people to read. People still like the flip of the page and the sound it makes. Closest thing to a real book.

Nachteile:

Easier explanation on how the program works regarding the credits would help.

A more professional look for virtual catalogs

Vorteile:

This is a much more polished way to virtually present catalogs, booklets, and pamphlets. With the animation and audio it's a vast improvement over the standard pdf.

Love the Software

Kommentare: I love the product.. Just needs to have a few more options for social media

Vorteile:

Ability to color coordinate the templates to your project, Import Sound, Custom Background images, and the ability to make project look like real book.

Nachteile:

Not able to customize bottom bar with Social media logos

Great Product, Easy To Use

Kommentare: It's been great, and I know I will use it more in the future.

Vorteile:

I tried a couple of other programs like Flip PDF, but I settled on this one. It's everything you need and easy to use.

Nachteile:

I haven't discovered and cons yet. I'm very happy.

So Far So Good

Vorteile:

We are still getting use to this product and so it would be too early for us to give a full review. However, it is working very well so far.

Nachteile:

That we have to pay for the book to be published after we had already payed for the software
