Hi I purchased your script which I recommend to any NEW reader to this post, and I just wonder HOW to force WooBook to adjust itself to the width and height of a cellphone or tablet automatically? My current settings are these:
wowBook({height:600,width:800,maxHeight:600,hardcovers:true,thumbnailScale:0.50,slideShowDelay:10000,centeredWhenClosed:true,container:true,thumbnailsPosition:’left’,responsiveHandleWidth:50,container:window,containerPadding:”0px”,toc:[[“UNIT 1”,2],]});});
Hi,
I don’t see nothing obviously wrong in the configuration. Maybe the option maxHeight is working as intended (limiting the book size) when you think the book should be bigger? I don’t know.
Anyway, i can’t tell for sure without looking at the whole webpage. Send me a email through the support tab and send me the url of your project, i will take a look and try to figure out the problem.

Can view with this plugin on mobile device if I have 48MB pdf file? (using browser on android and iOS)
Hi,
To be honest i don’t know how well pdfjs (the library used by Wowbook and every other flipbook plugin on Codecanyon) would handle a 48mb pdf file. To play safe i would say to you to not buy Wowbook’s license.

hi, I want to add this plugin in Laravel application, but I have problem to get right path to PDF file?
Hi,
Unfortunately i know nothing about Lavaral framework. My guess would be that you can find that type of information here https://laravel.com/docs/5.7/filesystem .
But i suggest to you to look for in a forum like https://laracasts.com/discuss or stackoverflow.
Regards
I have just bought your plugin and, after a bit of tweaking to suit what I want to do, it’s working pretty well. Thanks!
But there are two things with which I’d like your help. The first is accessibility. I would like to customize the plugin to make site work well for those who can’t use a mouse. I have been able to do some things, but I really need the unminified version of the wow_book.js file that is supplied in the examples/pdf/wow_book folder. (There is an unminified version of a file with the same name in the developer_version folder but it is not the same file.) If you are able to send me the relevant file, I would be happy to send you a copy of the file once I have added the necessary code to make it accessible.
Secondly, there is an issue with the find function. I know it’s experimental, but you asked for feedback, so here it is. Once it’s initialized, the find function works superbly well! The problem is that the process of initializing, it causes the browser to grind to a halt and (in Firefox) it asks if I want to quit the operation. (The PDF being searched has 304 pages.) Is there a way to initialize the search function in the background on page load, so that it is ready to go when required? Or maybe there is some other tweak that could be made?
Thanks again!
Actually, I see what you’ve done. You have put minified versions of all the javascript files in the developer_version folder into one minified script. So I have what I want now, thanks, apart from some way to speed up search initialization.
Hi Tim,
As you find out he files in the folder “developer_version” are the files used to create the minified version, you have to include all the javascript files in your webpage.
Send me a email through the support tab and give me more details about what exactly are you trying to implement. Maybe i can help you or at least give a hint that could save you some time.
About the find in pdf files: the problem is probably the size of the pdf file, but to be sure i have to look into it. Send me the pdf file and i will take a look.
Happy New Year
Best regards
Hi. Uhmmm, unfortunately I have no idea on where to start. I have a pdf I need to upload asap. Please help. I’ve kind of tricked the system to add it at the moment but feel there’s probably a better way to make it faster?
Hi,
What exactly is the problem? The pdf file is taking too long to download, to render, or is something else?
Send me a email through the support tab and give me more details, i will try to help.

hi, can automatic convert to a PDF file from book ?
Hi,
Wowbook cannot generate a PDF file from a book. Wowbook is a jQuery plugin that you include in your webpage that you can use to display a PDF file in your webpage.
But to be honest i’m not sure if i understood your question correctly. If i misunderstood could you please ask again using another words?
Hope that helps
Regards
thanks for your reply , maybe generate a PDF file from a book is good idea
Hi,
It’s a good idea, the problem is that the PDF standard is very complex to implement and probably would have to be a plugin on their own.
Thanks for the feedback.
Regards
Hi! The script doesn’t show the pdf while local launching at local disk (OS MS Windows).
Hi,

One thing I noticed on the WowBook. When using lightbox mode, the close-window button at the top right of the screen is just way too small on any of my mobile devices. Is there an easy way to increase the size of this? Thanks!
additional note…the size should be at least the same as the default toolbar icons.
Hi,
Thanks for the suggestion. You can change the size of the button using CSS. If you don’t know how to do it, send me a email through the support tab and i will help you.
Best regards
Thank you. The only thing I can find so far is the box .wowbook-lightbox > .wowbook-close. I’, looking to increase the “x” can you tell me where that is?
Hi,
You can change the size of the “X” setting the font-size property.
Best regards
Hello,
I sent in a support request yesterday but I’m not sure if it went through. Can you please confirm receipt?
Thanks
Hi,
Don’t worry, i got your email. The problem is the css in your webpage is messing with the plugin behavior. I’m trying to find out exactly what css rule is causing the problem(and how to fix it) in order to answer you with the solution.

Hi, also presale question. Your example – PDF – shows text as Vector but there is no images inside etc. 1. Can You say that all vector/font pdfs will be rendered with vector text ? 2. Maybe You can provide some extra PDF file demo with more complicated pdf file ?
Asking becouse my files have many images also as backgrounds and also very small fonts and this text have to be readable so vector is needed.
thanks
Hi,
I believe that vector text will be rendered with vector font, but i can’t guarantee because Wowbook uses the library PDFjs to render pdf files, ie, it’s not in Wowbook control.
This library is the same library used by Firefox. This means that if you open your file with Firefox you can see if PDFjs will render your file properly.
About “readable text”. I some circustances some small text can shown a little bit blurred because of how the browser render some elements. If you will mantain the option for the user to use zoom on the book, this is not a issue.
Hope that helps.
Best regards
Hi, ok bought and script looks cool for 50% of my needs. But problem is that when I try to make it as easy and light (because of memory usage on mobiles) some properties don’t work for example 1. curl: false and 2. use3d: false (still curling with 3d effect don’t know did shadows: false work because cant see difference) ?
My target is to make your player usable on mobiles
.
$(function(){
var bookOptions = {
height : 600
,width : 800
,maxHeight : 600
,pagesInMemory : 5
,flipSound: 0
,centeredWhenClosed : true
,hardcovers : false
,pageNumbers: false
,toolbar : "left, right, zoomin, zoomout, fullscreen"
,thumbnailsPosition : 'left'
,responsiveHandleWidth : 50
,container: window
,containerPadding: "20px"
,use3d: false
,zoomLevel: 1
,zoomMax: 2
,zoomMin: 1
,zoomStep: 0.5
,curl: false
,curlSize: 0
,shadows: false
,toolbarContainerPosition: "top" // default "bottom"
,pdf: "2008.pdf"
};
})
$('#book').wowBook( bookOptions ); // create the book
Hi,
Wowbook is usable on mobile, but performance on mobile can vary a lot because mobile devices differs a lot in terms of processing power and memory. The pdf processing and rendering done by javascript can use a lot of processing power and memory too. The pdf file itself, if it is too big, can use a lot of memory.
I’vel answered your email.
Cheers
Hi, I have a presale question. Is it possible to put a custom logo/ image at the background of every page (bottom right)?
Hi,
Wowbook does not have a configuration option for this, but if you know CSS you can easily add the logo since every page on the book will have a CSS class.
Regards
Hi,
Please help me with presales question. I like the one with example that uses only images. But can I add video in between the pages/images. I know its possible with HTML version, but I want to use with image version which looks very nice.
Thank you
Hi,
The “images” example showcase the options that makes it easier to setup a book when you only have images, ie, these options save you from write additional html code. Your case is a bit different, you want to insert page with html video between the pages with images. Although that you can’t use the exactly same options used in the “images only” case, there are options that will make it easier for you write the html code necessary to create your book.
Hope this helps
Regards
Thank you… can u tell me which is that option or how can i achieve it.?
Hi, can I use wowbook as a full-screen single page on mobile without the lightbox? Also, in single page mode, I see that on page turn the content move to the left page and then slides to the right page, is it possible to disable this effect and just show as a single page on the right?
Hi,
Yes, you can use fullscreen single page on mobile without the lightbox.
About your second question:no, is not possible to disable the slide from left to right,
Hope that helps (and thank you for your feedback)

Hello, I’m considering purchasing and wanted to confirm two things: (1) can rich media like video, audio, or animated gif files be embed and displayed (2) Can I import using PDFs or a Word doc and then edit/add rich media? Thanks in advance for confirming before I purchase.
Hi,
Sorry for the late response.
About your questions:
1) Wowbook use html as contents for the book, so it can use audio, video and animated gifs.
2) Wowbook can not “import” other documents. However it can render PDF files, but can not render Word files. And you can not use Wowbook to add or edit rich media into the rendered version of the PDF file.
To make it clear, Wowbook is not a stand alone program that will generate a flipbook website for you, is a jQuery plugin. You need to write a html page, include the plugin and configure it in the webpage writing a bit of html and javascript. If you don’t have this knowledge of basic html/javascript i recommend you to not buy the plugin.
Best regards
Is it possible to make the book pages fill most of the screen by default?
Hi,
Yes, it is.

HI, i have the same problem of flickering with opera / chrome / edge. it’s works fine in chrome /android 8.0. on my phone, but with problem if desktop version is checked i’ve got almost the same html file (boilerplate from your example) with numbered jpeg file.
Thanks
Hi,
I’m sorry for the delayed response, i was hoping i would resolve the issue sooner.
A recent update in Chrome introduced a bug in the renderer that is causing this flickering. It’s weird, the problem does not happens in the pdf example, only in the others examples. I’ve managed to workaround the Chrome’s bug. A new plugin version with the fix is being released today and should be available for download as soon as CodeCanyon publishes it.
About Edge: i could not reproduce the flicker on Edge, but maybe the new version fixes the problem for Edge too. I appreciate any feedback. And if is not too much trouble, feedback by email would be better(but it’s ok here too, of course).
Thank you very much for the report.
Best regards
Hi, thanks the update. for edge, apparently my file is the problem.
Thanks again
You’re welcome, and thanks for the feedback.

Can I add a HTML-coded page after a PDF has rendered? for example to insert a .mp4 in a middle page?
Hi,
I’ve answered your email
Hello I purchased this awesome FLIP BOOK script from you about two years ago… and I am getting a bothersome flickering effect when swiping the pages using chrome’s latest version, I even tested your demo site and I am seeing the same issue. Any ideas on how to fix this? NOTE: This is not a support question. It is a matter that helps you keep the place and ranking your script has at this time.
Hi,
That’s weird because nothing changed in the plugin. If there’s something wrong, it’s a bug introduced by Chrome.
I will look into it, thank you for the feedback.
Best regards
Hi again,
Just to let you know i was able to reproduce the flickering.
It’s weird, the problem does not happens in the pdf example, only in the others examples.
A new plugin version with the fix is being released today and will be available for download as soon as CodeCanyon publishes it.
Thank you for your report.
Best regards
Not sure if this has been asked before but.
Is it possible for the plugin to automatically detect a ‘two-page’ pdf page. Meaning a normal single page pdf is usually ‘Portrait’ in size. But a double-page pdf is landscape in size, and it contains 2 pages (left and right) at the same time.
Currently, when i use a ‘landscape’ sized pdf that contains both left-right pages at the same time, it is ‘squeezed’ into 1 page in the flipbook.
I tried another plugin [Real3d] and its able to do that, so i was wondering if you could do the same on this one.
Hi,
Unfortunately Wowbook don’t have support for this feature yet. It’s in the to do list, but i can’t give you a timeframe.
Thank you for your feedback, it really helps setting the priorities.
Best Regards
Hi, i sent to you a ticket in the support section. Its about how can i remove the hash tag #book in the link after index.html ? I used AngulaJS to create route in my app , the #anchor disturbs my routes.
Regardes,
Answered your email.
Hi maguiar01, Well done, thank you!
