Creating Your First FlipBook

Method No: 1

In this section, we're going to walk you through the process of creating your first FlipBook using the first method mentioned above.

1. After installing and activating TNC FlipBook - PDF viewer for WordPress, Navigate to TNC FlipBook > Add New Menu
2. Put a title for your Flipbook, Keep it relevant to your PDF file as it will be used as the FlipBook title and while embedding using shortcodes.
3. In the next section under  FlipBook Settings > Basic Settings Upload the PDF file you want to use
4. Select Page Mode. The default will be fine in most cases.
   1. Default will open Default PDF viewer
   2. Thumbnails will open with displaying page thumbnails on the left side 
   3. Bookmarks will open by displaying Bookmarks on the left side
   4. Attachments will open by displaying attachments on the left side
5. Default Zoom: You can set your preferred default zoom level for this FlipBook on this input
6. Default Scrolling Mode: You can set your default scrolling mode here. Vertical, horizontal, wrapped or Flip.
7. Default Spread: Set your preferred default spread here. 
8. Viewer Language: Select your preferred viewer language here.
9. Jump to page: Enter a page number here if you want to open/jump to a specific page.
10. Now, go to Toolbar Elements Tab
11. The first option here is to Use Global options, It's enabled by default. If you need to hide any specific toolbar elements like download, print and others, you can disable this option and a list of toolbar elements will appear to enable or disable. I am not going through all the toolbar items here as all those are self-explanatory.
12. The next tab is the Appearance
13. We have a use global setting option here as well. Disable the global option only if you want to have a different theme/color setting for this specific viewer. Not going through the details here as well, you'll understand by titles easily.
14. The next Tab is Privacy/Security
15. You don't have to do anything on this tab. If you purchase WP File Access Manager, you'll be able to manage the restriction settings from Media > File Access Manager Menu.
16. Once you're done with all the settings, click on Publish button on the right sidebar
17. Now, you can share the link to this viewer with anyone.

Method NO : 2

If you already have a lot of PDF links on your website and don't want to go through each pdf to create a FlipBook individually, this section is for you!

You can enable Automatic iFrame or Automatic Link options to automatically convert all your links ending in .pdf to open with TNC FlipBook - PDF viewer for WordPress.

Please note that the pdf url's href parameter must end in (.pdf ) and the file must be hosted under the same domain for this function to work.

So, let's get started,

1. Navigate to FlipBook > Global Settings > Automatic Display Menu on your wp-admin
2. On the first field on this page, you'll see 2 options to select from
   1. Selecting the Automatic iFrame/Embed option will replace all the .pdf links with an embedded FlipBook in the same place where the link was.
   2. If you select Automatic iFrame, 2 more fields will appear in the bottom section for setting iframe width and height. Set those fields and click on the save button to save the changes.
   3. Selecting the Automatic Link option will replace all the .pdf links to open with a FlipBook. This option just changes the links, and anchor text, and everything else remains the same.
   4. If you select the Automatic Link option, another field will appear below for setting Link Target. Set the Link target and hit save to save the changes.
3. Once the settings are saved, go to any page that contains a .pdf link & you should see the result there!
