How to restrict where your PDF flipbooks are embedded and displayed

---

5 December 2022

One of the key features of FlowPaper is its ability to easily embed your flipbooks on your website. To do this, you simply need to use the “Publish” feature in FlowPaper to generate an embed code for your flipbook. This code can then be copied and pasted into the HTML of your website, where it will automatically display your flipbook.

In addition to being easy to embed, FlowPaper also allows you to restrict the display of your flipbooks to a specific domain. This means that you can choose which websites are allowed to display your flipbooks, and block them from being displayed on any other websites.

How to restrict your flipbooks to your domain

To restrict the display of your flipbooks to a specific domain, you simply need to use the “Publish” feature in FlowPaper to generate an embed code for your flipbook. When you generate this code, you’ll have the option to specify the domain where your flipbook can be displayed.

Once you’ve added this restriction to your embed code, your flipbook will only be displayed on the domain you specified. This can be useful for preventing unauthorized use of your flipbooks, or for ensuring that your flipbooks are only displayed on websites that you have approved.

Overall, FlowPaper makes it easy to embed and restrict the display of your flipbooks on your website. With its user-friendly interface and powerful features, FlowPaper allows you to create engaging and visually appealing publications that will enhance the reading experience of your audience.

11 September 2022

Version 3.6.1 is out with a great set of improvements around animations and interactivity! With the collected input we’ve recieved over the last few months, we’ve noticed that many of you would like to make it easier to apply animations to texts and shapes. We’ve therefore added a new easy-to-access animations menu to the Elements template which is available via the top right corner on each page as seen below.

There are animations available on the left for both texts and shapes that can be applied through a simple click. The resulting animations can be seen in the preview area on the right-hand side. We’ve of course added support for these animations while at the same time preserving the crystal clear text rendering as well as the high definition images for each publication.

Example Publication with Animations

We’ve prepared a demo publication for you so that you can get an idea of what you can do with these new animation templates. The publication below has used both text and shape animations to highlight different parts of the original PDF document. Browse through this publication and enjoy a few of its pages!

It still provides the option of animating headers/body text as well as images, shapes and other figures inside of the imported PDF document.
