Hi, I am not sure this is the right place to ask. How do you meet your Flipbook needs ? Is there any FOSS software to do it ?
I need it sparingly, 2-3 books at the maximum. If there is any safe and reliable option, do share. Thanks.
Thanks. So nice of you.
Have you tried this software ? I am trying to build a single page PDF using index.html. But it is not over yet.

Can you get 'index.html' on a single page PDF. I mean how long is it ?
LibreOffice makes good PDF's and will open a html file. There is an appimage for linux.
This one I increased the page length to 2 metres

Still not long enough, the PDF was 2 pages but you get the idea. .

Otherwise, does the html doc contain hyperlinks ? This one
https://www.msweet.org/htmldoc/ has been around for ever, maybe 12 years since I last used it. Worth a look.
Thanks @rich2005.
Maybe I am doing it wrong. Do I have to save the file as HTML ?
I am currently using 20.04 default with Libre Office 6.4.6.2 and the single page PDF I created is made through Libre Office.
Can you please tell me where to change the page size ?
I will try again with a single line, one page PDF.
One line, one page and when I click the index.html in the folder ( after changing PDF file name in line 30 ), it showing the spinning icon for 20 minutes now. What to do ?
I must have misunderstood, I thought you already have something.html file.

LO first: I use a ver 7.1 appimage and already telling me there is a more recent version.
Page size is in Format -> Page Style

and exporting to PDF is File -> Export As

I do not get this bit. What PDF file, in which line 30 ? A spinning icon? One possibility, it might be trying to follow a non-existent hyperlink.
Back to the drawing board.
I will download the latest LO. Thanks.
Can you please tell me how to create a Flip Book using that repo ? Were you successful ?
I downloaded the repo, unzipped it into a folder, added a page1.pdf PDF file made through LO and as per the repo README.md, replaced the file name in
Quote:to define the src, open pdfjs/viewer.js and change to line 30.
var DEFAULT_URL = "compressed.tracemonkey-pldi-09.pdf";
replaced the above to page1.pdf and then clicked index.html in the folder.
Attaching the PDF
