Question : publish 100 pdf files as html5

Answer : No need to convert anything if you just want to publish them in HTML5 mode. We render to html5 directly from a PDF file. If you want to convert to html4 or flash in a batch then I recommend having a look at the “manual conversion” documentation section in our docs</p>

Question : can we delete print and copy action in zine with commercial license?

Answer : Yes you can, all our commercial clients are given access to a read only build in where copy and print has been disabled</p>

Question : How do I add a custom element and download link to my publication?

Answer : The question around buttons has been answered before. Please see the following thread:
http://flowpaper.com/FlexPaper_QnA/?qa=655/how-to-add-an-extra-button-in-flexpaper-zine

You can add a download link to the pdf document by ticking the download button inside desktop publisher (its right hand side)</p>

Question : Can we use zine viewer unbranded?

Answer : You can indeed. The Zine viewer is unbranded when you are using a commercial license.</p>

Question : gotoPage() API method

Answer : Not quite sure why it would do this – please forward the url you’re using to our email address ([email protected]) and we’ll inspect further.</p>

Question : Set custom urls for each page?

Answer : You can create custom urls for your pages if you use our desktop publisher for Zine. It defines a configuration file which can contain your own url’s. No need to know anything about javascript.</p>

Question : Only one zoom level? Not enough for phone/tablet.

Answer : You can add further zoom levels by expanding the advanced settings in the publishing dialog in desktop publisher and ticking the “Optimize publication for low memory / CPU devices using PHP”. This will add further depth to the zoom.</p>

Question : Is it possible to disable mousewheel zoom?

Answer : I’m afraid this is not currently possible. We have added this as a enhancement request</p>

Question : Why won’t the folder with my flexpaper document appear in Filezilla?

Answer : Not sure why it wouldn’t show up in FileZilla – perhaps you can post a few screenshots of what it looks like? The folder has no special attributes so it should show up fine</p>

Question : gotoPage() API method

Answer : Its probably better to place the gotoPage call in the “onDocumentLoaded” event handler as opposed to the onPageLoaded event handler. A reason for this is that if you load the document in two page mode then the viewer may trigger that it has navigated to page 9 if that is the left hand side of the page even if you are triggering gotoPage for page 10, so this could confuse things for your script.</p>
