Question : How do I enable cross domain ajax requests originated from flex paper ?

Answer : If you’re using the html5 viewer then you need to enable CORS on your server to make this possible. Have a look in our Q&A and search for CORS and you will find multiple responses on this.</p>

Question : Is it possible to create a menu of the magazine contents populated by bookmarks in the pdf?

Answer :

We don’t automatically populate any bookmarks section outside of the viewer but its easy to add your own bookmarks outside of the viewer and then simply linking to each page by calling:

$FlexPaper(‘documentViewer’).gotoPage(123);</p>

Question : Change single page mode to two page mode when tablet is rotated?

Answer : Its unfortunately not switching to single page automatically when turning a tablet, but its a great idea! I have passed this on to our devs!</p>

Question : Is there extracting image tool about PDF page?

Answer : You can use mudraw in the MuPDF open source package to convert pages to images, you can also use pdftocairo to do the same. There are multiple similar open source tools</p>

Question : Converting documents manually using the command line or via php script?

Answer : You can convert by either command line or by using one of our php scripts. If you want to convert documents manually then I recommend having a look at our documentation under “manual conversion”</p>

Question : What does forceSinglePage allow and what version of the web product supports it?
