• ⭐ On-the-Fly PDF Upload (Optional): Allow users to upload and view their own PDFs if no file is pre-set in the shortcode.

How It Works: The Magic Behind the Pages

Our plugin seamlessly integrates two powerful, industry-standard JavaScript libraries:

1. PDF.js (by Mozilla): This library is responsible for taking your PDF file, parsing its content, and accurately rendering each page onto a canvas element within the browser. This means no external services or viewers are needed – it all happens right on your website.
2. Turn.js (v5): Once the pages are ready, Turn.js steps in to create the stunning flipbook effect. It manages the page layout (single or double-page spreads), handles the smooth page-turning animations, and provides the structural framework for the interactive elements like shadows and gradients that give the "real book" feel.

Your WordPress site serves up the plugin's PHP, CSS, and JavaScript. The PHP handles the shortcode and prepares the necessary data. The CSS styles the entire flipbook container and its controls. The JavaScript orchestrates PDF.js and Turn.js, manages user interactions, loads PDFs, generates thumbnails, and keeps everything running smoothly.

Understanding the Shortcode: Your Key to Embedding Flipbooks

Embedding a flipbook is incredibly simple using our [turn-pdf-book] shortcode. Here's how the two main uses work:

1. Basic Usage (Allowing User PDF Upload): A Short Code on your WordPress page

[turn-pdf-book]

content_copydownload

Use code with caution.

• How it Works: When you use the shortcode like this, without specifying a file URL, the plugin will display the flipbook interface with a prominent "Upload PDF" button.
• Who is this for?
  • This mode is useful if you want to provide a tool on your website for visitors to upload and view their own PDF files in a flipbook format. For example, an internal company page where employees can quickly view documents, or a utility page for a specific community.
  • Important Note: For most scenarios where you want to showcase your specific content to all visitors, you'll use the file attribute described below.
• What the User Sees: They click "Upload PDF," select a PDF from their computer, and the plugin loads it into the flipbook viewer for them.

2. Displaying a Specific PDF (Pre-loaded via URL - Most Common Use):

[turn-pdf-book file="https://example.com/path/to/your/document.pdf"]

content_copydownload

Use code with caution.

• How it Works: This is the primary way to showcase your content. By adding the file attribute and providing a direct URL to your PDF file (e.g., one uploaded to your WordPress Media Library or hosted elsewhere), the plugin will automatically load and display that specific PDF when the page loads.
• The "Upload PDF" button will NOT be shown in this case, as you've already defined the content.
• What the User Sees: The flipbook appears with your designated PDF already loaded, ready for them to start flipping through the pages immediately. This provides a seamless and professional experience.
• Example URL: [turn-pdf-book file="https://yourwebsite.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/my-awesome-brochure.pdf"]

Enhancing Your Pre-Loaded Flipbook with Title and Author:

You can further customize the pre-loaded PDF experience by adding title and author attributes:

[turn-pdf-book file="https://example.com/path/to/your/document.pdf" title="My Amazing Catalog" author="Our Company Inc."]

content_copydownload

Use code with caution.

• How it Works: The title and author you specify will be used for the "cover" thumbnail's information overlay, adding a nice touch of branding and context. If not provided, the plugin uses defaults or tries to infer from the filename.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Q: Is this plugin compatible with the latest WordPress version and popular themes?
  • A: Yes, the plugin is built following WordPress standards and is tested with the latest WordPress versions. It's designed to be compatible with most well-coded themes. The plugin namespaces its CSS to minimize conflicts.
• Q: Can I customize the look and feel (colors, fonts)?
  • A: The plugin comes with a clean, modern dark theme. Advanced users can override the plugin's CSS with their own custom styles by targeting the specific typf-prefixed classes in their theme's stylesheet or a custom CSS plugin.
• Q: Is there a limit to the PDF file size or number of pages?
  • A: While there's no hard-coded limit by the plugin itself, performance can be affected by very large PDF files (many MBs or hundreds/thousands of pages) due to browser processing and memory. We recommend optimizing your PDFs for web use. The plugin includes a "File is large..." loading message.
• Q: Does this plugin work with password-protected PDFs?
  • A: PDF.js, the library used for rendering, generally does not support rendering password-protected PDFs directly due to browser security restrictions. The PDF needs to be unprotected.
• Q: Can I disable the page-flip sound?
  • A: Currently, the sound is an integral part of the experience if the page-flip.mp3 file is present. A future update might include an option to toggle this. For now, removing or renaming the assets/page-flip.mp3 file from the plugin's folder would disable it.
• Q: What kind of support do you offer?
  • A: [Specify your support policy here. E.g., "We offer support via email for bug fixes and setup questions for X period after purchase," or direct them to Gumroad's messaging if that's your channel.]
• Q: What is the license for this plugin?
  • A: The PHP code is licensed under GPL v2 or later, as is common for WordPress plugins. The bundled JavaScript libraries (PDF.js, Turn.js) have their own compatible open-source licenses. Your purchase grants you the right to use the plugin as per the terms outlined on this Gumroad page.
