Sfogliami stores your PDF file and performs a number of operations.
Based on the size of the first page, it distinguishes single pages from double pages and converts all content (text and images) into a graphic file.
Two versions of each page are created: a lighter one is used for page animation. The other heavier, is used for the zoom function.
Each user can decide whether to read the flipbook "browsing" it or to download the PDF file on his computer or device.
PDF downloading can be disabled in the flipbook options.

First of all, you cannot sell copyrighted material that does not belong to you.
You need a PayPal account on which you will receive payments that users can make by credit card or through their PayPal account.
Sfogliami does not withhold any amount on sales, the money goes directly from the user who buys to your PayPal account
The activation of PayPal is free and is the most widespread and established payment system on the web. For more information on PayPal and how it works click here.
When you sell your flipbook you can decide to sell only the browsable version, based on images, or to enable the download of the PDF file.

We have written a small guide with some simple indications to make your flipbook a success story.

There is a maximum time available for uploading your PDF.
If the upload does not complete within 2 minutes, Sfogliami responds with a "generic error".
In this case you can try to upload using a faster connection, or you can save your PDF file in slightly lower quality to optimize its final size.
Normally a PDF file uploaded for conversion should not weigh more than 100Mb.
If you still have problems with the conversion contact us by writing to supporto@sfogliami.it

You can solve all conversion problems by generating your PDF (from InDesign or other pagination software) with these settings:
PDF standard: "PDF/X-1a:2001"
This export mode merges all the elements of the page on a single layer returning a PDF that always converts correctly.
This setting can be found in the PDF export options, any PDF can be exported to this format by the person who made it.

Sfogliami does not accept PDF files that exceed the A2 format (594mm x 420mm).
If your PDF is larger, you'll need to convert it before uploading.
In addition, the PDF format allows the inclusion of interactive elements, such as videos, forms, links, etc. "Multimedia" PDF files are not compatible with PDF/X (print) standards and can give errors during conversion.
Sfogliami is a digital publishing platform, therefore does not accept files of format that are not compatible with the standards for printing.
Save your document in a compatible format for printing, if you still have problems with the conversion contact us by writing to supporto@sfogliami.it

Sfogliami is able to guess the structure of your PDF file.
Based on the relationship that exists between the first page and the next, it deduces whether these are single or double pages.
This system works with all files suitable for conversion, but if you upload a PDF file in an abnormal format (i.e. not divided into pages) or with pages of different formats, you may get an unsatisfactory result.
Save your PDF with the pages in the right order, using a single page as the first page.
If you still have problems with the conversion contact us by writing to supporto@sfogliami.it

If your PDF file is set up correctly, Sfogliami recognizes the crop area and automatically deletes the print borders.
Save your PDF without print margins before uploading the file to Sogliami
If you still have problems with the conversion contact us by writing to supporto@sfogliami.it
