    Hi
    I have 5 questions:
    1. How can I set that the pdf is starting on an even pagenumber? I′m extracting articles from a magazine and if one is from page 4 – 10, the pages get grouped wrong i double page view, since page 4 becomes single start page.
    2. If I use file path[dflip source=”example.com/wp-content/uploads/file.pdf” type=”thumb” ][/dflip] instead of creating each flipbook, will it load slower?
    3. I can′t get using file path to work. It just keeps loading in lightbox, no error message. I use Godaddy w my own domain, how do I know if its a CORS issue?
    4. Where to put pdf-files to keep them safe? Is it just wp-content/uploads and make file name hard to guess?
    5. What′s the differences between this plugin and 3D FlipBook https://3dflipbook.net/

    It works fine with the pdf-embedder at https://wp-pdf.com but not dflip.

    Hi,

    Can you share the link to your page where you have added the flipbook?
    We will have a look at it and suggest why it is not working.

    At this page https://tidning.alternativ.nu/ater/perenna-bladvaxter/
    I have shortcode [dflip source=”https://tidning.alternativ.nu/wp-content/uploads/2016-3-6.pdf” type=”thumb” ][/dflip]

    At this page (another server) https://www.alternativ.nu/tidning/article/odla-eget-socker/ I have shortcode [dflip source=”https://www.alternativ.nu/tidning/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Biboet.pdf” type=”thumb” ][/dflip]

    Maybe I put shortcode wrong?

    Hi,

    In that shortcode, remove the quotes around the pdf path and enter it manually. The problem is with the quotes.

    Also, we won’t recommend using another PDF.js plugin on the same page. They might preload the PDF.js and it can cause version issues if they don’t use the same version as ours. They use an older version of PDF.js

    Wow, no it works like a charm : ) It was the quotes!

    About my other questions:

    1. Even pages:
    The pdf at https://tidning.alternativ.nu/ater/perenna-bladvaxter/ is really a double page spread, now becoming 1+1
    The pdf at https://www.alternativ.nu/tidning/article/odla-eget-socker/ is really two double page spread (10-11, 12-13) , now becoming 1+2+1
    On mobiles this doesn′t matter since it turns to single page mode automatically, but on wide screens it may be confusing. Is the only workaround to add an empty page in the beginning if article starts on even number?

    4. Preventing downloads: my plan is to to have the posts containing text, images and pdf-viewer locked until you buy them, but giving Google access to indexing posts reveals the link in source
    <div class="_df_thumb " id="df_rand1815720968" source="https://tidning.alternativ.nu/wp-content/uploads/2016-3-6.pdf" data-title="" _slug="perenna-bladvaxter" wpoptions="true" thumbtype="bg" >Open Book</div>
    – will the url be revealed in google search results?
    – do you now any cloud service that may limit access only to dflip-viewer?

    Hi,

    1. Not sure if that is an issue to a reader. Page numbers are there to help people land onto a certain page. Don’t really think that even or odd page orientation makes confusion.

    4. We suggest creating a page/block that is only visible to users that have paid for the subscription. If not, you can redirect them to the purchase page or item page.

    Hi,

    1. Sometimes pictures and text are across both pages on a spread. Then it looks bad when spreads are mixed.

    4. Yes I have this. And google will have access for indexing. Thing is I don′t want pdf-urls to be shown in search results or users downloading files and spreading them.

    Hi,

    1. When there are texts/pictures across both pages, the pages are kept side by side. If you design the PDF accordingly this is not an issue. Many people design it like that.

    4. Google won’t be a valid user for your site, so it cannot index the content that will be displayed for logged in users. It’s just like a password protected page on WOrdpress. Google cannot index that page unless it enters the password right? On google, only the password form will be index, not the actual content.

    Best,
