Incredibly flexible design options
No programming ability required
PageTurn is just one app of many available in our Lightbox 3 package – PageTurn is designed specifically to let you turn a PDF or series of images into an interactive eBook that you can share with visitors. It comes with a user friendly manager that lets you build the interactive and also provide plenty of flexibility on how your interactive will look.
Essentially PageTurn lets you create 1. an Attractor screen that displays when your touchscreen is not in use. 2. Menu screens that can link to multiple eBooks, and then finally 3. the eBooks themselves which visitors can swipe through.
1. Attractor Screen
When PageTurn is inactive, a screensaver will display a slideshow of your images on loop with a call to action inviting the visitor to interact.
2. Menu Screen
The menu system lets users choose which PageTurn to interact with. This supports multiple layers of sub-menus.
3. PageTurn Screen
This is where your eBook is displayed for visitors to enjoy. It supports PDF files or a collection of individual images.
Putting an interactive together is simple thanks to the easy to use Content Management System. Read more details below;
The Manager includes a very easy to use Library system; storing all of your media content including PDFs, audio, images and videos. Here you can add titles & descriptions which are displayed when the media item is used in a PageTurn.
Turn PDFs or Images into eBooks
Simply import a PDF to instantly turn it into an interactive eBook. Or you can also use a range of images instead.
Create Popups of media / text
Bring your eBooks to life by adding popups of further information and setting audio to play when each page is turned. Popups can share text, images and even link to videos in the library.
Customise your theme
Add a touch of branding to your PageTurn screens by using themes. Lightbox 3 themes open a variety of settings that allow you to adjust the appearance of your interactive. You can create multiple themes for multiple different screens.
