#### Use cases

Turn a PDF you already have into something readers tap, explore, and act on. A few
popular ways to use it:

Free:

 * Digital magazines and newsletters – publish each issue as a real page-turning
   read with a contents list, search, and shareable links to any page.
 * Restaurant and cafe menus – put your menu online as a book that looks right on
   phones. Swap the PDF and it updates everywhere.
 * Course materials and workbooks – give students textbooks and handouts they can
   read, search, and flip through on any device.
 * Portfolios and lookbooks – photographers, designers, and studios show their work
   as a clean flip-through instead of a plain download.
 * Annual reports and company profiles – turn a long report into an easy, on-brand
   reading experience.
 * Travel guides and brochures – let visitors browse your destination guide like
   a printed booklet.

With Pro:

 * Shoppable catalogs – add clickable spots to any product in your catalog so a 
   shopper taps an item and goes straight to the product page or their cart. Your
   print catalog starts selling.
 * Real estate brochures – mark rooms, units, or plots right on the page, and let
   buyers tap for details or send an inquiry without leaving the flipbook.
 * Lead magnets and gated guides – offer a free guide, lookbook, or whitepaper and
   ask for an email before the reader unlocks it, so every download grows your list.
 * Sell ebooks and premium PDFs – lock a FlipBook behind a WooCommerce product so
   only buyers can read it. Great for ebooks, reports, back issues, and course packs.

#### TNC FlipBook 3D Pro

 * More interface languages

   proxy for secure file serving

#### Embedding Options

 1. **Shortcode (inline):** `[tnc-flipbook-3d-embed id="123"]`
 2. **Shortcode (popup link):** `[tnc-flipbook-3d-link id="123"]Click to read[/tnc-
    flipbook-3d-link]`
 3. **Gutenberg Embed Block:** Search “Flipbook” in the block inserter
 4. **Gutenberg Link Block:** Insert a clickable link that opens a flipbook popup
 5. **Direct URL:** Each flipbook has its own permalink at `/flipbook/your-book/`

### External Services

This plugin does not connect to any external service to display your FlipBooks. 
The 3D viewer, PDF engine, fonts, and all assets are served from your own site.

The only data the plugin can send is optional deactivation feedback. If you deactivate
the plugin and choose “Submit & Deactivate”, it emails the reason you selected, 
any details you type, your site URL, and the plugin version to ThemeNcode so we 
can improve the plugin. If you tick the “ThemeNcode may contact me” option, your
email address is included too. This is entirely optional: choosing “Skip & Deactivate”
sends nothing, and no data is sent unless you click “Submit & Deactivate”.

Service provider: ThemeNcode – https://tncflipbook.com | Privacy Policy: https://

### Source Code

All of this plugin’s own JavaScript and CSS is shipped unminified and
 human-readable–
there is no separate build or compile step for it. The 3D viewer engine lives in
assets/flipbook/tnc-flipbook.js and assets/flipbook/tnc-flipbook.css.

The bundled third-party libraries are included in assets/lib/:

 * Three.js (MIT) – https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js
 * PDF.js (Apache-2.0) – https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js

The PDF.js data assets shipped alongside it are also part of that distribution:

 * assets/lib/cmaps/ – character maps for CJK (Chinese/Japanese/Korean) text
 * assets/lib/standard_fonts/ – the 14 standard PDF font programs (fallback for
   
   PDFs that do not embed their fonts)
 * assets/lib/wasm/openjpeg_nowasm_fallback.js – a JavaScript build of the
    OpenJPEG
   JPEG 2000 decoder, used to display JPEG 2000 images. The underlying decoder source
   is OpenJPEG (BSD-2-Clause) – https://github.com/uclouvain/openjpeg

## FAQ

### Does it work with any PDF?

Yes. TNC FlipBook 3D renders PDFs using PDF.js and works with any standard PDF file,
including those with links, bookmarks, and text layers.

### Does it work on mobile?

Yes. The plugin auto-detects device capability and falls back to a lightweight 2D
CSS-based mode on older or less powerful devices.

### Can I customize the toolbar?

Yes. You can choose which toolbar items appear and pick a toolbar layout for each
FlipBook.

### Is it accessible?

Yes. It includes full WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility — keyboard navigation and shortcuts,
screen reader announcements, skip links, focus indicators, high-contrast mode, and
reduced-motion support.

### Can I use it with page builders?

Yes. It includes Gutenberg blocks and shortcodes that work with any page builder.

### Can I try it before installing?

Yes. Use the “Live Preview” button on this page to open TNC FlipBook 3D in a temporary
WordPress site right in your browser (powered by WordPress Playground). It opens
with a sample FlipBook already set up, so you can flip through pages, search, switch
themes, and open the editor without installing anything.

### My FlipBook area is blank (the browser console shows a “MIME type” error)

The viewer loads its PDF engine from JavaScript module files (.mjs). A few web servers
do not serve .mjs files as JavaScript by default, which stops the engine from loading.
If the FlipBook stays blank and the browser console shows a message like “Failed
to load module script … MIME type of ‘text/plain’”, apply the fix for your server,
clear any caches, and reload.

On Apache or LiteSpeed, add this line to your site’s .htaccess file: `AddType text/
javascript .mjs`

On Nginx, add mjs to the JavaScript line in your mime.types file so it reads: `text/
javascript js mjs;`

Most hosts already serve .mjs correctly, so this is only needed on a few servers.
If you are not comfortable editing these files, your hosting provider’s support 
can add the rule for you.

I’ve been following this author since the CodeCanyon days and have always known 
them to create top-tier, high-quality products. It is truly a shame that things 
changed so much over there, but I am very glad to see this excellent plugin available
here for the WordPress community. The tool works flawlessly and keeps the same high
standards. Wishing the author the absolute best of luck with this project!
