HTML5 / Split Mode

[William Patterson]

Hi All,

Is there a way to use split mode with the HTML5 version of FlexPaper? PDF files over 100KB just indexing forever and end up crashing the browser.

I wasn't able to find any documentation on this.

Thanks!

Yes you can use split mode when using HTML5. We typically recommend using a tool like pdftk to split your document into individual pages. You also need to supply a JSON file when you do this. The JSON file is typically created using PDF2JSON. 

The following example splits a pdf file into individual pages:

pdftk "Paper.pdf" burst output "Paper_%1d.pdf" compress

Create the JSON file using PDF2JSON in the following way:

pdf2json "Paper.pdf" -enc UTF-8 -compress -split 10 "Paper.pdf_%.js"

Then supply the PDF file and the JSON file in the following format to FlexPaper:

PDFFile : "Paper_[*,2].pdf",

JSONFile : 'Paper.pdf_{page}.js',
