iOS Page Turn Feature.?

Hi guys, I've been searching the forum for the best option to allow my 200 pages of PDF documents to turn or flip as a book would but I seem to only find possible android solutions. Has anyone implemented this feature for their iOS apps yet here in the BT community? I'm just not crazy for the continuous page look. Any help would be great. Thanks Anthony

Hi, 16$ really isn't much to pay for such a project. But if you want to go the open source(free) way, you might want to try this: http://maniacdev.com/2012/06/open-source-cocos2d-framework-for-creating-highly-interactive-ipad-books/

The ebook plugin has a HTML page turn script. Wonder if it'll work in iOS, it should but, haven't tried it in iOS. Fred

@Vali Thanks for the link, that is something i will check out. I've not implemented yet but i did pick up that Turn The Photo code, which was also made by the same guy that made the Turn the PDF that @madrod mentioned. The code is a bunch of individual Viewcontrollers. That is gonna have to be made into custom plugin to work in BT. I plan to try it, but down the road apiece...... (LOVE the feature he implemented to listen to music while browsing photos. he said that could also be integrated into his Turn the pdf code too!)

@Fred I took a look at it and saw that the ios files are missing, but probably from the custom html plugin. David buzztouchmods.com

I created a flipbook with a page turn feature using turn.js http://www.turnjs.com/ I stored the webpage and all the pdf files within the app and it worked great. I used an earlier version of the javascript but I haven't tried it with the updated 4th edition or sent an app in for approval using this so I am not sure what Apple would say having the flip feature via an html5 webpage. If you are looking to use this in a commercial project you need to buy a license. Magnus
