I need to develop an application that will let the user flip through 132 pdf pages. They are mainly static but it would be nice to add some video and a link or two. Is this possible with BT? There are companies out there who offer this service, but they are expensive and frankly, i prefer the community here! Many thanks for your help. Title Comments Hello!

Found company online that allows you to create ebook thought it was approximately $30/ mo. Having pdf link may be an issue for Android. Fred Comments It's possible.

It's 79 dollars one off fee, but you can try out a fully functioning demo for as long as you like - The restriction on the demo is that it pops up nag messages all the time. Been using for about 18 months and only a handful of error reports in Android dashboard. Don't be put off by the terribly written English on the site! This isn't the place to drop a link, send me a message if you're interested. Comments There's a tool I use to create flip books, it converts pdf's to images but retains the links.

So, yes.

Very simple, but terribly slow and laggy on my device even with no content on the pages. Still going to carry on playing with it though. Comments Stuck their example in a bt project last night.

Paul Rogers Android Fan Posts: 2524 Reg: May 30, 2011 UK 35,740	07/12/12 09:45 AM (13 years ago) Hi @BreezeCourier. No, I didn't use it in the end. The basic version is on a non-commercial BSD license, while the version with all the cool features is on a 99 dollar commercial licence. I went with another library in the end, that I used to make the Android ebook plugin (https://www.buzztouchmods.com/downloads.php?cat_id=1&download_id=24) It's called monocle.js, well cool!

BreezeCourier Apple Fan Posts: 30 Reg: Jun 21, 2012 Taylorville, IL 5,200	07/12/12 01:34 PM (13 years ago) I see that is used for "html, images and/or plain text". I assume then that it does not work with a PDF, correct? Comments I see that is used for "html, images and/or plain text". I assume then that it does not work with a PDF, correct?

The pdf page turning software that I've found will take pdfs, convert them to images (somehow retaining links) and build page turning apps using the images. So, you could use a free online conversion service like http://www.convertfiles.com - convert pdf to a useable format, like pdf to jpeg or pdf to epub and build a page turning ebook that way, using my plugin, or turn.js, monocle or whatever else there is. Time consuming preperation and inconsistant results though. Comments Correct, I'm not sure even adobe have page turning effects for pdf's in apps?

I need something that will create a newsstand app without having to pay thousands up front with ongoing monthly fees.
