2. How to Input Files?

VeryPDF Flipbook Maker supports various input formats: PDF, DOC/DOCX, XLS/XLSX, HTML, RTF, PPT, PPTX, JPG, JPEG, JPE, GIF, PNG, TIF, and TIFF.

2.1. Input PDF

You can convert a normal PDF or an encrypted PDF into a flipbook.

2.1.1. Normal PDF

If the input PDF is not protected by any password, you can do as follows:

Step 1. Click the Input button at the toolbar at the top of the main interface.
Step 2. Click the folder icon after the Input name edit box to open the Add File dialog box. Or you can view the original PDF by clicking the other icon which looks like a page.
Step 3. Choose a PDF file in the Add File dialog box and click Open.
Step 4. Click the Import button at the button of the dialog box.

Before this step, you can also specify some of the original pages to import. Or you can set quality of the images. See 2.5.

2.1.2. Password protected PDF

Flipbook Maker also supports encrypted/password protected PDF files. There are three conditions you might meet when input a encrypt PDF:

User password

Step 1. Repeat 2.1.1.
Step 2. After clicking Import, you will find a dialog box appears on the desktop.
Step 3. Input the user password in the Input Password edit box.
Step 4. Click OK.

Permissions password-permissions password is also known as master password or owner password. If the input file is only encrypted by a permissions password, Flipbook Maker can directly import the PDF. Hence, you don't need to input any password.

Both types of passwords-if your PDF is protected by both a user password and a permissions password, you can do as follows:

Step 1. Repeat 2.1.1.
Step 2. Input either the user password or the permissions password.
Step 3. Click Ok.

Input Pictures dialog box as below will pop out.
Step 2. Click the Add button in the Input Pictures dialog box.
Step 3. The Add File dialog box pops out and you can choose the images there. Click Open and this
dialog box will be closed immediately.
Step 4. Click the Save button at the bottom of the Input Pictures dialog box to close it.
Step 5. Click the Import button at the bottom of the Input dialog box to start importing, or you can set

page ranges and import options before importing the images. See 2.5.

2.3. Input Word, HTML, Excel or PPT

To input DOC, DOCX, HTML, XLS, XLSX, PPT, and PPTX, you need to install Document Converter, which is also known as docPrint Pro.

If you want to convert Office files to flipbooks without watermarks, you need to register Document Converter.
