Description

Realistic Viewing Modes

The plugin's main attraction is the Realistic 3D Flipbook (using WebGL) mode, which includes real-time physics, page thickness, lights, and shadows for an immersive experience. It also offers alternative modes like CSS 3D/2D FlipBook, Swipe Viewer, Scroll Viewer, and Simple Viewer.

Source File Support

You can create a flipbook from three primary source types:

1. PDF Files: Simply provide the URL of a PDF, and the plugin renders it into a flipbook. It supports PDF links, text selection, and search with keyword highlighting.

2. Image Files (JPG/PNG): Use a set of sequential images to create your flipbook pages.

3. HTML: Allows for the creation of lightweight and fast-loading books with dynamic content.

Display & Integration

The flipbooks are fully responsive and look great on desktop, tablet, and mobile devices (with touch-swipe support). You can display them using:

Normal Embed: Inserted directly into a post or page content.

Lightbox (Popup): Opens the flipbook in a full-screen overlay when the user clicks a thumbnail, image, or text link.

Fullscreen Mode: Opens the flipbook to cover the entire browser window.

Advanced Interactivity

Go beyond simple page turning:

Interactive Content: You can add HTML content like videos, audio players, popups, and links to any page of the flipbook.

Table of Contents: Automatically generated from PDF bookmarks or custom-built.

Deep Linking: Allows you to link to a specific page within the flipbook (e.g., yoururl.com/#page-5).

Customization

The plugin is highly customizable, allowing you to tailor the look and feel to your brand:

Skins & Templates: Comes with pre-designed skins for light and dark themes.

UI Customization: Adjust colors, background, toolbar buttons (add/remove Print, Download, Share, etc.), and more.

Physics Control: Adjust settings like flip speed, camera angle, and shadow intensity.

Ease of Use

The workflow is straightforward: Install $\rightarrow$ Add New Flipbook $\rightarrow$ Select PDF or Images $\rightarrow$ Publish $\rightarrow$ Insert Shortcode into any WordPress post or page. It also offers Gutenberg block support.

How to Create a Flipbook from a PDF

The simplest way to use the plugin is by converting a PDF:

Install and Activate the Real3D FlipBook plugin.

Go to Real3D Flipbook $\rightarrow$ Add New in your WordPress admin dashboard.

Enter a Title for your flipbook.

In the Details section, click the Select PDF button and upload or choose your PDF file from the WordPress Media Library.

Configure your preferred settings (view mode, skin, toolbar options, etc.) on the various tabs.

Click Publish.

Copy the Shortcode (e.g., [real3dflipbook id="1"]) and paste it into any page or post to display the flipbook.
