Magazine Plugin?

Dear ones, Plugin market temperature is rising, isn't it? I know that our developers are working hard as always, but I'd like to know if anyone is working in a plugin like this, (or some mods to our current PDF plugin): http://codecanyon.net/item/turnthepdf/full_screen_preview/2417301 I think it would add some functionality, especially for those working in magazines, journals or just text with a a smoother transition. All the best, DryFrog

It's awful a few of us gave tried integrating it. Style over substance doesn't zoom properly. It also uses arc which is a pain in the backside to get working with buzztouch.

The other issue with that project is that it's $16 for a single license or $80 for an 'extended license' - which really covers you and one client. There's no way a plugin developer could legally turn that into a plugin for use on the market.

@Kittsy - I wasn't aware that it was that difficult. @chris1 - This link was just an initial idea, a starting point. The main question is: wouldn't it be nice if we could have some extra functionality to our PDF plugins? Cheers, dryFrog

ah - well that's another matter altogether! Actually, Stobe's storybook plugin might get you close to what you're wanting. It has the page turns like that.

find something on git hub, most on tehre are sharing code, I was explaining this to someone else recently, PDF readers are big business in the app world, google pdf api and be astonished by the prices of third party SDKS. We're given a basic one to read it but for stuff like highlighting, searching, page turning, decent zoom, url links comes at a premium.

@chris1 I was forgetting Storybook Plugin. It is very comprehensive, indeed. Thanks, dryFrog
