hi,
a client wants to email out his pdfs as standalone readers with page-flip / peel effects. it can be just attached, saved and played from hd. is there a decent solution?

Slap your client back a page-flip decade.
Folk are not going to be wanting to get a 10mb PDF in their email inbox. You'd be much better just sending out a link to people and have your solution online.
Who's the audience?
Why not suggest a swipe solution if most people will be viewing their mail and links from ipad/phone.
Page flip/peel is maybe the latest thing to your client but most other people have seen it before.

yeah, i'm going to have to agree with 23kon... this is pretty dated and pointless. that being said, if i had to do it, i think i'd make the page flip in flash (many, many tutorials on this are online) and either send out a flash projector (again, pretty dated) or possibly embed that swf in a pdf... not sure if embedding it will work, tbh.

Issuu looks like it'll be decent.
You'd never want to email that kind of document out anyway - folk wont want a big file like that in their inbox. A link to this will be fine.

Can you even create an actual PDF with the the flip effect embedded? I guess embed a flash file with the effect?

- That's what I thought too.ETM
- I hate that shit. When it happens, I just tell clients that instead of wasting mine and other's time.monospaced
- I have to do it for one client. But it's an option for the user at least. One of 3 options to view the content.ETM
- Some users really do love that rubbish though.ETM
