Flip PDF Pro for Mac – A Dynamic Presentation
Pros
- You can customize or add certain things like your title, logo, toolbar icon appearance, background, fonts, etc. It feels a lot like a design program – which is nice, as a designer.
- The program allows you to embed almost any sort of media into your flip book – GIFs are easy to add in and work with, they add a dynamic element to your presentation (which wasn't possible before).
- You can create these things called “hot spots” – basically certain trigger areas in your document that can activate something when clicked – like take you to a e-commerce site, for example.
Cons
- My documents sometimes had a problem with import and output – sometimes it would take a substansial amount of time to export something.
- In their mulit-lingual version, our freelance linguist caught some mistakes, some words were not translated or translated into other languages – which can make us look pretty bad.
- There's a limit on audio you can output for each page in your document – it had to be "one audio for two pages".
Return on Investment
- It makes our presentations more interesting and dynamic.
- It allows us to go around using Microsoft PowerPoint (which is a little slow and unresponsive on Mac).
- Using its animation and hotlink elements, we're able to broaden our services with this program. It really helps out a lot.
