Hello,

This is my first post on that forum. I'm not into Flash Media Sever but since
I can't find such kind of information i'm trying to post my question here.
Sorry if i'm not in the right place (maybe someone can point me on the right
direction).

Here's the question:

Nowdays there are some applications which basically covert a PDF into an SWF
and let you turn the page as you are reading a real magazine. These
applications work in the following way:

The PDF is uploded into a directory -> some kind of application (and here's my
question, is that Flash media server??) coverts them into the final SWF -> The
SWF link is sent back to the customer.

Now i've noticed that all that kind of application work in this way. Is Flash
Media Sever the application that do that job?

Examples can be found at: www.smartpaper.info / http://myvirtualpaper.com

Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,

Best,
M

Thanks. Any idea about how these swf are automatically created starting from a PDF?

FlashPaper 2 is the tool to do that I think.

Hello,
I know that Codebox can turn ordinary PDF files into page flipping ebook, you can try the free tool.
After a search, I found that you can also try the Kvisoft Flipbook Maker Pro(http://www.kvisoft.com/flipbook-maker-pro/ ) to turn pdf into SWF page flipping magazines.
