the look and feel of a real book. The tool converts simple pdf-files into digital books and virtual print products have never been closer to reality.

books. At the same time it is also easy to use. Powerflasher Solutions have optimized the user interface of their new pdfbook. Additional tools like the upload function for images and logos or the color picker make it easy to create a three-dimensional pdfbook in the company’s own corporate design. The developer can choose from multiple options for title, logo, colors and background. There’s also an option to select between hard- or soft-cover for the front and back side of the book. An index is generated automatically by using the new index function, at the same time being a highlight for the reader: Through the automatically generated index the reader reaches the requested page directly. With the integrated pdfbook- designer video clips, audio books and links are embedded into the pdfbook in a simple way. Thus, the reader gets a real surplus even compared to conventional books. Reading thereby becomes a multimedia experience that can help to grasp contexts in a new way. Just within a few steps digital books can be created and placed online. Even voluminous books that need a lot of storage capacity are available in short time and do not paralyze the client PC. Additional features allow the provider to give the reader the possibility to download, print or even share pages of the book via link or to send an e-mail or instant message to a friend. All those functions, which convince every marketing manager, can be inserted with little effort on the part of the developer. Under the aspect of modern marketing, the 3D-technology of the pdfbook enables developers to let consumers dive into a three-dimensional product – and changes consumers’ interaction with it drastically. Out of a simple pdf-file developers can create an individual and unique pdfbook matching their expectations exactly. The developer can choose among different versions of the pdfbook. The full- service package is the easiest way to use the tool. Hosting of the server component by Powerflasher is included. With this package no additional server software is required. Another way to develop using pdfbook is to install server and client components inhouse. For this purpose, the IT-system needs to meet special server requirements which are specified on the Powerflasher website www.pdfbook3d.p owerflasher.de/en .
