The 3D Issue Lite allows you to automate the process and even maximise the output by allowing you to remove crop marks, permit keyword search, convert PDFs of different orientations and enhance the visibility of your flash magazine through search engine optimization.
Here are some key features of "3D Issue Lite":
Search Engine Optimization:
· PDF to flash magazine lite SEO 2The first option that you will come across is the publication settings. Each magazine title that you convert will have different settings and perhaps will be hosted at separate domains. 3D Issue Manager Lite remembers all settings that were used the last time that you did a conversion for this magazine. Also each magazine might have separate meta tag information and Google analytics.
· In order to optimize the marketability of your digital editions we have added a new feature that will make these digital editions search engine more friendly.
· During the conversion process the text from each PDF page is extracted and added to a unique .htm page. For example page 2 texts is inserted into 2.htm, page 3 to 3.htm and so on.
· These pages can be picked up & indexed by search engines or your website search tool. When the user clicks one of those .htm pages, the flash magazine is opened automatically at that page.
You can also enhance the visibility of your digital editions to search engines by adding meta tags to each of the .htm pages that are generated. Along with the text content of your webpage, one of the primary methods that search engines use to rank the relevance of your website to search queries is to look at the meta tag information of your web pages. To do this it looks at the following meta tags:
· The title of your we page
· The description of the web page
· The relevant keywords of the web page
· To add these meta tags, click on the "Edit" button and a popup box appears allowing you to add not only your meta tag information but also your Google analytics script so you can monitor how users are finding your digital editions.
Selecting PDF(s) to include and defining page order:
· Next we will add our PDFs into the 3D Issue Manager Lite. In the batch process section. Click on "Add". You are then asked to import the PDF(s) that you wish to include in the new digital magazine edition.
· Once all the PDFs have been imported, they are displayed in the batch process window. Here you can see the file location of each PDF, the number of pages and also the PDF`s page order number within the digital edition. You can easily move the PDFs up and down the digital magazine page order by using the "Mouse Up" and "Mouse Down" buttons or simply by clicking and dragging the PDF.
· PDF Layout - Not all pages are designed as Single Page PDFs. Some can be sent to the printer as double page spreads or a mixture of both single and double page layouts. This tool is designed to cater for these layouts and no matter what the configuration of the PDF files, it will convert it into a digital edition that reflects the print edition. All you have to do is state the page layout types. Are they "Single page layouts", "Double page spreads" or a "mixture of both". The converter will do the rest
· Page Sizes - It doesn`t matter if the publications are A4, A3, A5, broadsheet, tabloid or square. 3D Issue Manager will convert and display the outputted digital magazine accordingly.
Setting output destination:
· Once you are satisfied that the pages are listed in the correct order, you must then identify the output destination. By clicking the browse button you can easily define the folder using the windows explorer tree structure. Once this folder has been correctly defined, you must then insert the issue id for that publication. This is where all files will be exported to.
Defining the quality and resolution of the digital magazine:
· Most press quality PDFs are sent to the printers at a resolution of between 200 to 300 dpi. In a digital edition these pages would be too large and therefore would need to be reduced to enhance the end users experience. By altering the resolution and image compression ratio you can ensure that there is minimal downloading to view the digital edition. For example, a standard A4 publication is normally outputted at between 120-150 dpi at a compression of 30%.
Removing any "Crop Marks":
· Publishers often have PDFs with crop marks or bleeds going around the circumference of their PDF pages. These markings are used by printers to determine where to cut publications when producing print publications. These markings are never displayed in the final publication and therefore we feel that it is important that 3D Issue Manager allows you to easily remove these crop marks / Bleeds.
· Simply select the ???remove bleed??
