Reviews
The flipbook that doesn’t waste your time
By 
Install, upload your PDF, add the shortcode—two minutes later you’ve got a responsive flipbook with page-flip animation and zoom. No weird dependencies, no endless configuration. Premium options make sense (branding with your logo, remove watermark, page counter + jump) and they don’t slow down the front end.
Single page on mobile makes reading comfortable; on larger screens the double-page spread looks great. Perfect for product catalogs, price lists, and manuals. A must if you want quality and simplicity together.
Changing review

My first review was that the plugin had some errors in my opinion.
The developer of Free PDF to Flipbook responded very quickly and within 1 hour and 50 minutes the plugin was almost rewritten into a very awesome plugin that quickly and easily converts a PDF file into a Flipbook.
Thanks to the developer of Free PDF to Flipbook.
