Page Editor

back to top

We know that enhancing your digital editions can really help with getting your readers engaged with your publication. 

You are going to find it much easier to add these enhancements with the new Page Editor.

Rather than have users go to different tabs or sections of our site to add enhancements to the pages of their digital editions, we wanted to allow access to these tools in one spot.

From here you can choose the tool you need: (reference Tools Tab Image below)

• Embed hyperlinks (1)
• Embed clipping areas (great for coupons, mailer forms etc) (2)
• Embed rich media like audio, video and SWF animations (3)
• Edit your article lists for view in the Flipbook TOC dropdown (4)
• Add tabs to the side of your pages for quick access to sections of your publication (think directories) (5)
• Create advertiser lists for quick access to the pages those advertisers are listed (use this list for information other than advertisers too!) (6)
• Update the searchable text content of your pages (7)

To access the page editor:

• Navigate to your title
• Click on the drop-down menu that shows to the right of your issue cover thumbnail image
• Click on "page editor(zones,lists,text)" to access the Page Editor interface
• From there you can choose the tool you need from the Tools Tab

Expand/Contract your Workspace

back to top

There may be times when you need some more space to work with when navigating our system. 

Now you can choose to hide some of the menus and graphics at the top of the web page by clicking on the button on the right of the top banner.

Once you've hidden the horizontal menus, you will be able to access those sections through drop-down menus from the top banner.

Duplicate a Title

back to top

You want to create a title that uses the same settings as an existing title but you don't want to have to go through the whole process of selecting each option.  NOW you can duplicate one of your existing titles.

Just click on "Create a new Title" and you will see a new popup (See Create Title Popup Image below) where you can choose to create a title "from scratch" OR choose an existing title which will be duplicated.  A duplicated title will populate the settings from the existing title and all you will have to do is hit the create title button. 

NOTE: Any Banner or Background Images will not be copied and must be added manually to the new title.

Reflect Both Absolute and Relative Page numbers

back to top

You may have set up your title with a page offset to get your physical page numbers to match the page numbers displayed in the toolbar(All uploads start with the absolute page# of 0 for the cover page by default)

Now ANY area of the site where you need to select a page of your publication will show both Absolute and Relative page numbers based on the page offset chosen for your title.  See Absolute AND Relative Page Number image below.  

Example would be where a document's cover page was actually page 1.  The title offset would be set to (+)1 to get both the toolbar and the physical page numbers to match.   When choosing any pages for formatting etc, you will see 0[1], 1[2], 2[3] etc.  

The Absolute page number will show on the left and the relative page number will show on the right.

Quick Add new Title

back to top

Whether you are just starting out on the system and don't have a title yet, or you want a quick title created for a new upload, there is now a an easy way to automatically have a title created with some basic settings.

When you are in the "Upload a new Issue" screen, you are required to select a title.  If you click the drop-down menu you will see an option of "quick add Title" (See Quick Add Title Image below)

Choose that title and all you have to do is enter a title name and click add.  You will be taken back to the upload screen where you can submit your PDF to our system for conversion.  You can review and update the title settings at a later time if necessary.
