Question : I’m having problems installing FlexPaper on Mac OSX

Answer :

Installing with updated package file
Apple has updated its security settings for OSX version 10.9.5 so we had to resign our install files to adjust for this. The updated file is now working as it should and is available here for Zine:

Installing with previous DMG file
We have also added a page with installation instructions for anyone who would like to use the older .dmg file:

Question : Can you add a markup cloud feature

Answer : When you say clouded areas do you mean like a redaction area ? Could you illustrate or point to an existing example?</p>

Question : Pre-load pages with HTML5

Answer : The viewer preloads the next couple of pages automatically, if you want to preload all pages into the cache then simply make a ajax call to each pdf file on the page where you’re loading the viewer. Contact us via email and we can show you how it is done</p>

Iframe support

Answer : I am wondering if it is possible to add an iframe to the Zine so that I can have more dynamic content (slideshows, forms, etc.).

 

How difficult is it to modify the add video utility to allow other types of web content to be displayed?</p>
