Hello. This is a pre-sale question :) Does this support double spread? Meaning, using a single image to fill 2 pages.

Thank you!

Hi,

It does support double spread for the case when the book contents are regular html content and images. It does not support double spread for pdf files.

Best regards

Hey, quick question—does this flipbook script work with PDFs stored in S3 object storage, like DigitalOcean Spaces? Just wondering if that’s supported. Thanks!

Hi,

I never tested. But i think that as long as the browser can access the file through http, it will work. For serving pdf files, It’s important for the server support for partial content(or range requests), otherwise the browser may have to load the entire pdf file before starts rendering the pdf.

Hope that helps,

Best regards

Yeah. I tested and it suported. Another question, when open thumbnail window. What key press to close thumbnail Without switching page? I look documentation not mention about key to close thumbnail. I tried esc key, nothing happens. Any advice? Thanx

Hi,

There’s no built in feature to close the thumbnails with a press key. It is possible to implement it using javascript and Wowbook’s hideThumbnails API.

If you need more information or help about how to implement this please send a message through the support tab. Email is a better tool to provide support (and we avoid polluting the comments section).

Hello, it’s possible share pdf by email easily?

Hi,

Unfortunately no, Wowbook does not have that feature.

Best regards.

Still waitin for PDF Search. When can that finally be available?

Hi, imagine i have couple html elements in the pages. And i added a CSS animation to them so it will fade-in (opacity from 0 to 1) to the page. So if i add these css nimations to both pages 2 and 3 (showing 2 pages, 1 is cover), only page 2 animation is played. Page 3 animation playing when i flip to page 4 and flip back to page 3. Is there anyway to activate these css animations for both opened pages?

I think you can use the callback onShowPage to change the style or class of a element to trigger the animation. Look in the documentation for more details about the onShowPage callback.

If you need further help, please contact me via the support tab. I can provide better support via email than here in the comments section.

Happy New Year

Hi, does WowBook work on a local computer, without Internet connection? Kind regards

Yes, but with a caveat.

If you use Wowbook to display only html/images contents, it works locally without a problem. But if you plan to use Wowbook to display a pdf file, due to browser’s security restrictions, you need run a web server locally to serve the files or configure the browser to allow access to local files.

Best regards

Thank you :)

How can I remove ( #book ) from the URL?

Hi,

Already answered your email, but for other people reading this: yes, it is possible to remove the ”#book” part from the url.

Best regards

Hi everyone, Does WowBook only work for pdf on the same domain? can I use the external link that has a pdf file? I receive the following error when trying to load the PDF from a different domain,

Error: NetworkError when attempting to fetch resource.

I need a solution as soon as possible

Hi,

Hello, Can i use this script inside a SaaS?

Hi,

Hmm, I can’t say because “SaaS” is a vague term, each service has its own requirements and limitations. What i usually says is that if it is possible to install a regular jQuery plugin on the platform, you probably can run Wowbook without a problem. Maybe you can look for that information on the service.

Hope this helps

Best regards

ah, i asked vague question without specifying details.

What i meant is if i’m building a SaaS can i use this plugin for adding some features for users by purchasing some license?

Oh, that’s totally different.

Unfortunately I don’t think so, if I’m not mistaken the plugin license (Envato regular license) does not allow this use case.

Best regards

presale question :

https://previews.customer.envatousercontent.com/files/308385206/index.html#book2/

above demo its possible to remove #book2 from url

Hi,

Yes, there are configuration options to not add the #book part to the url.

Best regards

Hello,

There is an issue I am facing with my 2-page PDF file. Specifically, when the first page of the file is in landscape and the second is in portrait, the bottom content on the second page gets cut off. How can I avoid it? Thanks

Hi,

Unfortunately at the moment the plugin was cannot handle pages with different dimensions, it will render every page with the same size. The main reason is that this feature raises several issues about how to proper render the book pages, and i don’t know the solution to this issues, AND this feature is not requested by users which leaves me with no feedback.

But if you send me a email with the pdf file i can try to hack a work around to resize the “bigger” page to fit into the other page’s dimension.

Best regards

welcome I am using Digital Ocean to host my website I use the rabbit for storage I supplied the requirements in the Python code, but it always gives a message like this: “Error: Missing”

How can read url from bunny.net?

Hi,

I answered your email.

Is it a bug?

var book = $(’#book’).wowBook(); book.gotoPage(2);

Uncaught TypeError: book.gotoPage is not a function

Hi,

First my apologies for the really late response. I just realized that I made a very stupid mistake. I wasn’t seeing your comment because about 1 month ago I did a search in this comment section, but I forgot to clear the “search” field. Basically every day I checked for new comments and didn’t see any new comments because the comment didn’t match the search term. I’m embarrassed just to type this.

About your question: the correct way to get the book object to use the wowbook api is:

var book=$.wowBook("#book");

after that you can call

book.gotoPage(2);

Again, my apologies for the late response.

Hope this helps,

Best regards

Hi is it possible to add sound to the pages?

Thanks

Hi,

Basically every day I checked for new comments and didn’t see any new comments because the comment didn’t match the search term. I’m embarrassed just to type this. : (

About your question: You can customize the sound the plugin makes when you flip the page. But if you are asking if you can play a specific sound when you show a page (for instance, a music), then the answer is no, there’s no built in feature to do this.

Again, my apologies for the late response.

Can we have a flip book effect but without seeing opposite pages. Always only one page. I know it doesn’t look like a book anymore, but on mobile it’s much more convenient than having a double page. What is the setting?

Hi,

Unfortunately, there is currently no setting to do what you’re asking.

However, this feature will be implemented in the future.

Best regards.

very good resource, which by the way works well for me on desktop browsers but I have a problem on ipad, my development which is assembled in an app for ipad (webkit) to display html, the pdf file does not load and gives me the following message:

Error: Missing PDF “file:///var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/45E98BD5-9216-4DB3-B43E-CC9AFB9F2D59/Documents/content/v1/files/res_25199205_0/myfile.pdf”.

My doubt is that if myfile.pdf is in the root folder of the resource, it changes the location, how could I solve this?

Hi,

I’ve answered your email.

Regards

Hi, few quick questions: 1. I would like to begin with the book open (and possibly not have a closed book state at all), i.e., the section would be in landscape at all times. Is this possible? 2. Is it possible to have a timed turning of pages instead of using buttons/nav bar? 3. I would be using images/html instead of pdfs. Is it possible for the html to contain a single video that spans both pages? (left and right side – single video) Thanks!

Hi,

Unfortunately, no. Although Wowbook does support the features you asked in the first two questions, Wowbook does not support a single video that spans both pages.

Best regards.

Hi. Is it possible to merge on the fly prebuilt pdf files to one flipbook?

Hi,

No, unfortunately there’s no builtin feature to merge 2 pdf files on the fly.

Best regards

Hello, How can we make in a simple way, with the use of PDF, reactive zones in order to click on a block of text to see it bigger.

anyone there?

Hi,

Unfortunately there’s no built in feature that does what you ask.

Maybe you can implement this using javascript/css and the plugin API, i can give you some pointers of how you could try to implement it.

Please send a message through the support tab with more details about what you need, email is a better tool to provide support (and we avoid polluting the comments section).
