Recommendations: New flipbook software?
Hello Heroes,
We have used, and recommended KviSoft's Flipbook Maker to convert PDFs into flipping Flash magazines. But a recent change in the company firewall will no longer allow the software to "phone home", rendering it permanently in demo mode.
So... anyone have recommendations for flipbook software with these criteria?
- Primarily used for stand alone (exe of swf) file creation of Flash-based pdfs
- Must be able to embed video files (not just link to YouTube)
- Must be able to run on destktop
- Not freeware/shareware as some of our users will need support
Also, does anyone have specific feedback on these guys who seem to fit the above?
Thanks!

I don't have experience with any of these or the one you've listed above but I have come to love the Envato marketplace. Some quality stuff at good prices and almost all from "little guys":
Bah, those were the HTML flipbooks. Here are the Flash ones:
Hi Steve,
Thanks for the link. Lots of interesting tools there.
For the record, I should have stated that we need a flipbook maker that converts pdfs directly (ie no coding/xml involved) because many of the users do not wear a developer hat.
In any case, I have another great resource now for cool, cheap e-tools. Thanks!
Bob,
I use flipbuilder, which I feel you will find meets all your criteria and more. There are several versions. Find all here at http:www.flipbuilder.com.
Blessings and Success,

I`d like to recommend free onlina flipbook creator or flipbook creator for mac to you.
As I understand it, the KviSoft software needs to communicate somehow with Kvisoft to operate. A change in our corporate firewall policy rendered it permanently in demo mode and neither the limited tech support offered nor our internal IT folks (better than many I've seen) could figure out a solution after several weeks of trying.
In the end, even though we liked what it did (especially for the price), we had to walk away and go with a more expensive, but better supported, software solution.

it is particularly important if your users use mobile devices without Flash support
