matjazmQ: 1.
is it possible to embedd (publish) pdf flipbook only on my wordopress blog (so that it would be publicly available to anyone visiting my blog without entering any password to see embedded pdf), but at the same time that pdf is neither visible nor accessible on flipbooklets.com, nor detectable by google on flipbooklets.com?
2. why do you say that the size of the (reasonable well compressed) source pdf file affects the speed of operation? Isn't it the case that the pdf is converted into PNG images of the individual pages (that forms a flipbook), which are then transferred to the user's computer when he clicks on the page or possibly a few pages in advance for backup? In youre answers you did mention transfer time for big pdf file ... why ?
3. If we disable PDF downloading in the settings, is there a PDF file on the guest computer at any time, that the visitor could find and save if he know about browser cache location?
4. If I understand used technology to create flipbooklet from oure pdf correctly : our PDF file is converted on your the server into series of PNG images, which are then displayed as book "pages". The only way for the user to "get the content" is to search for the transfered PNG images in his computer's cache or to take screenshots ? Is this correct ?
5. Will in future be possibile to add a sentance or two html formatted text as description (with a link) bellow flipbook on flipbooklets.com ?
rhanks for your answers

Thanks for your questions.
1. Yes! We offer 2 types of embed codes, either the standard windowed version which will respond to the column it is placed, or the fullscreen embed which takes over the entire screen as though it is hosted on your URL. The PDFs will always be accessible via direct link but we do not link directly to them on our service. You can mark them as "private" which means they are marked as not be indexed by search engines.
2. I mention the size and compression because we do not actually flatten or convert the PDF to images in any way. If the text is not outlined we keep it readable and searchable. As with all files, the bigger they are, the longer it takes to transfer.
3. Disabling the download for a PDF will mean there is no button to press in the toolbar to download. It may still be possible for someone that knows how, to access the core file. It is in the end being transmitted over the internet and displayed in the browser so there is no way around this. If it is particularly sensitive it is best to password protect the book.
4. No, as I mentioned above we do not actually flatten or convert the PDF to images in any way. It is not possible for us to stop people taking screenshots (or even taking photos of the screen) but we've done what we can to make it harder to try and get the content.
5. No, we don't have plans at the moment to add this. You can of course add this into the meta title and description fields when creating the book.
I hope that helps
Many thanks
Ben
