PageFlip PDF to Flash Converter 2.1

PageFlip PDF to Flash Converter is an extremely simple-to-use PDF conversion tool that produces SWF Flash-based files that you can view and read using your favorite Internet browser. The “PageFlip” bit in the name refers to the company that developed this PDF to Flash converter, so do not expect any pageflip effect in the resulting Flash file.

You can use this simple program to produce image-based presentations that you can embed in your web pages for online sharing or view and read using an Internet browser. The resulting file includes no animation, no double-page display, and no pageflip effect. PDF to Flash Converter simply puts all the pages in the selected PDF file into a bare-bones Flash player with minimal navigability. It allows you to publish your PDF files online easily, but do not expect any fancy functionality. The SWF viewer can only show one page at a time, and offers you the possibility of navigating directly to a specific page by inputting the right page number. The few other controls available refer to the size of the page and the way it is presented by the viewer – full screen, full page, etc.

The conversion process could not be simpler – select one or more PDF files, define the page range to be converted, and click on the “Start Convert” button. This is all you need to do to launch the batch-conversion process – actually, this is as much as you are allowed to do to customize the various conversion tasks. Some will see the lack of previewing capabilities and of customization settings as the best way of making this tool suitable for all users, while others will miss a certain level of flexibility. If fast and minimalist PDF to Flash conversions is what you need, this may well be the tool you are looking for. Before you buy your license, though, just remember that “PageFlip” has nothing to do with the program’s functionality, and that there are free PDF conversion tools on the Web that provide similar conversion capabilities.
