Start a Flipbook on a Specific Page
Sometimes you may not want your publication to open on the first page. For example, you may want to direct readers straight to a specific section, chapter, or update.
With FlowPaper, you can either set a default start page for your publication or share a direct link that opens the flipbook on a specific page.
Video tutorial
Set the starting page
1) Open your publication in the Desktop Publisher
2) Go to Settings in the left toolbar
3) Find the Start Page option
4) Enter the page number you want your publication to start from
5) Click Apply Settings
6) Click Publish and then Start Upload
Once your publication is uploaded, it will automatically open on the selected page when users access it.
Alternative method
You can also control which page opens by modifying the publication URL. If you look at your published link, it will include a parameter like:
- …page=5
To link to a different page, simply change the number in the URL.
For example:
- …page=20
When someone opens this link, the publication will start on that specific page.
Set StartAtPage in JavaScript
If you inspect the generated viewer code after publishing, you can set the opening page using the StartAtPage config value.
$('#documentViewer').FlowPaperViewer(
...
{ config: { StartAtPage: 5
...
}}
);
