/* Make the highlight transparent - no color */

/* Make the highlight color red */

section.linkAnnotation a, a.linkAnnotation, a.customLinkAnnotation, .customHtmlAnnotation, .customVideoAnnotation{ 
    background-color: red !important; 
}

  1. I dont understand the yearly charge? What happens if after a year I decide to stop using the application, what happens to the flipbooks I have already made and are on my site.

    • Hi,
      They will stay there and you can continue to use the plugin.

      The plugin won’t get updates and support after the license expires, nothing else changes.

      A yearly license helps us continue working and supporting the plugin.

  2. Hi I want to try it out for a while.
    Is there a possibility to buy it for a year only, without automatic repayment.
    What will happen with the plugin after a year?

  4. hello

    First of all, i love your plugin, tried everything on the wp plugins and this is by far the best one!
    Right now i am using the lite version, but in a few months i will probably need bigger files and i’ll be moving to pro.

    Until then, i would appreciate your help. Here is the situation:
    I have built a page with nicepage and inside it is a tabs element, and 3 tabs with 3 shortcodes for the 3 PDFs i want to display.
    The problem is, on the first tab, which is shown when the page is loaded the PDF is shown properly, but on the second and third on loading the PDF is really small and you need to zoom twice until everything settles and works perfectly.

    The page is: https://udzbenici.alfa.hr/primary-booster/

    Please help me, I am unsure in which direction to go…..

    • Hi,

      Don’t use tabs, you can use thumb popups provided by DearFlip. Also using multiple embedded flipbooks on a page is not recommended- use lightbox popups.
      With thumb type popup lightboxes, user can open the required flipbook that they want to read.

  7. I’m trying to create a link on a PDF to jump to another page on the PDF but I don’t see instructions on where to put a “deep-link” or a “button.” The examples here work but I can’t see the code needed for wordpress.

    Reply

    • Such links are created while creating PDF itself. It’s not done by the plugin.

      Please use the editor/exporter program to make such edits to PDF. We use google docs to generate our PDFs and link the internal pages.

  8. Hi Team,

    I’ve just tried the light plugin, and commend you on ease of use, and basic features.

    Is the text size setting for Outline items controlled by a header size? Maybe one of H4-H6? I find it quite small, and wondered if there were a simple way to increase the size.

    Thanks!

  9. I am trying to find out if this plugin has a bookmark feature. Example, if we have a list of bookmarks running down the edge of a page, can we hyperlink to another page in the flipbook?

  11. Hello, I am interested in buying your plugin, however, I have a few questions. Does it work well with Elementor? Can the flipbook be accessed by a link when using Elementor? Thank you.

  12. i want to use this code to limit the use of shortcode

  13. We purchased dFlip on Theme Forest August of last year, but it appears to no longer be available for updating on that site anymore. Is it possible to still get updates? I have the item purchase code. If it requires a new purchase, do you have any coupons for previous customers in order to purchase the latest version? Thanks! Wil

    • Hi,
      We provide coupons for all our old Customers. Please contact us through the COdecanyon contact form and it will verify your purchase automatically.

  14. Hi Deepak,

    We have purchased licensed lifetime version of DFlip flipbook pluggin.

    Can you help us know how we can remove Dflip from the code and personalize it?

    Looking forward to hearing from you.

  15. I purchased the plugin and it works great

    However, compared to the other FlipBook plugins it would be much appreciated if there was a button on pages and posts that you can select and insert books/categories from a dropdown so as not to copy and paste the shortcodes all the time. I will gladly pay for that feature or some kind of bookshelf feature to manage your books.

    Also for those that hate making the thumbnail image manually, you will love this plugin called “PDF Image Generator”. It is rather old but works great and it will make a thumbnail image of the first page of all your PDF documents. Just remember to untick this option “Hide Generated Images themselves in the Media Library”

    There is also a minor bug with categories – if they are numeric only it will not display at all ie: “2017” will not work but “2017 Editions” fixed the issue

    • Hi Pierre,

      Thanks for your suggestions and feedback. We will look into these possibilities of improving the plugin.

      Thanks again
