Hi,
I have an 80 page Book created in InDesign which can be exported as a printable PDF or interactive PDF amongst other things such as EPS, ePub, Flash (I'd like to avoid due to iPad clients) and HTML. My client would like me to make this book browseable (page through) from their website. I guess I need some type of viewer plug-in/widget? I currently have Web Designer MX8 Premium.
Is it possible? What approach? I don't know where to start.
Thank you,
m
Does the client desire a true eBook (or a few types to work on the current devices) or a FlipBook? Sounds like a FlipBook to me.

Hi Marlis
Looks like you need an e-brochure like the ones I produce for my clients. Take a look at http://www.intelligentbrochures.com/ac/04 This works without Flash on PC/MAC/iPad and iPhone. Let me know if this is what you need and I'll tell you the options.

Hi Mike,
Yes, you got it right - a FlipBook. How is this done?

There are a number of services which will do this for you but only a few of them offer iPad and iPhone acceptable brochures. I have been creating e-brochures for clients for the past five years. You could try some of the software on offer but again most are Flash based so unsuitable for Apple products. Currently I use Page Flip software which I have purchased and find this the best. If you don't want to invest in and learn the software I can create a digital version (e-brochure) for you for £75.00. It can be published directly to your server space or provided as a folder of files or on a CD. Price would include all embedded hyperlinks working but if you need any added there would be an extra cost of £2.00 per link.

The book is part ad book and part yearbook and is their big annual fund raiser. Any ideas on how to do this on-the-cheap for this particular client?

If the PDF is over 10 megs, I would desire you upload it to dropbox.com and email me the link.
Take care, Mike
You just beat me to the draw - I was about to make the same offer on a one off basis only. I can be contacted at brochures [at] btinternet.com
Either way it looks like your problem is resolved Maralis.

Thnx,
Marlis

I take a view the e-brochure link that gave above, the software link i give can also help you to achieve this effect.
Hope this helps!
