Looking for 3D PDF page flip software solution

[Joe]

The page flip feature out of InDesign works but it's very basic. And if you are using PDF's to place into InDesign the output really sucks as it treats the PDF, high res type and all, as a plain graphic so everything looks low res in the .swf file. It also has no controls to go to the next page or previous page or zoom other than a mouse right click. You can create your own buttons but I've found they don't work all of the time.

I researched this extensively just this past week and I came to the conclusion the best software for doing this from existing PDF's is 3D Issue

The cheaper ones either did not work at all, crashed frequently, or had items missing that were on the original PDF.

The one linked above has both Mac and PC versions and you can go with a Lite, Pro, or Enterprise version. It's certainly not the cheapest but it got the best and most reliable results of everything I tested. They have a free 30 day trial if you want to try it first.

I take back my recommendation for 3D Issue. The software is fine. Their pricing scheme is not in that you have to buy a "template" for each customer you want to create a flip book for. At $1299.00 for the Pro version of the software and another $599.00 for each customer template it's far too expensive for what we could ever hope to make from this product.

Hello,
I think you can try Kvisoft Flipbook Maker. Personally, I think it's an intuitive and professional page flipping creator that I've ever used. You can easily import your PDF file, customize the template and animated effect, and then you output your publications of seveal formats, such as SWF, EXE, HTML or directly email a friend.
Maybe the video-tutorial how to how to use the software to create page flipping publications can you a little: How to Create a Page-flipping Ebook from PDF? - YouTube.

I've seen many flip books made by your Kvisoft flipbook maker, and they are cool! It'll be great if it can also create 3D results.
