Make sure to upload only one file with ALL the pages listed in the correct order.

If you upload only one file with only one page, you will not get a flipping publication.
Your publication has to be placed in one file.
The maximum file size with UniFlip's licensed version is 125MB; while the maximum file size with UniFlip's TRIAL version is 5MB.

When you purchase a license, even if you have not yet activated it, you can upload up to 125MB/300 pages.

If you have purchased a license, you are allowed a maximum of 300 pages per file. 100 pages per file are allowed with UniFlip's TRIAL version.

If you need more than 300 pages, we recommend that you split the publication into different sections or/and products.

Breaking the document into more readable segments will allow for a faster download time and will avoid your readers Web browser to crash due to the speed of internet connection and other computer limitations.

In the online publication, we recommend a maximun of 250 pages with a license and 100 pages in the free version.
When you insert text in an images, the search function will not work properly, and will not be able to find the word or sentence.

The search feature can only search for words in clear text, and NOT inside an image.

The text has to be original in order for the system to be able to read it and place in in the searchprogramme.
When you place an image in your document it is important that is consists of only one image/layer.

If you have mulitple images with transparency layers, the final file will show errors when uploaded or the system will not finalize.

If you have a lot of transparency layers in your image file, you have to merge them into one image before saving and uploading your PDF.

If you have a picture containing a lot of elements/pictures on top of each other, you should merge them all into one single file.
You don't need to save your document to PDF format before the upload; however, it can improve the size of the file without reducing the quality.
