irmanunezqQ: What about the design?
Hi, just wondering, if I have to upload an all ready finished pdf to the platform, what do I use to create de pdf with images and everything involved so it looks good and professional? It might be a dumb question, but I truly don´t know. I have a website were I can upload and sell digital products, but I thought your platform would help in the design. I think it will only be useful to make the pdf flip. So, no problem with it, but would like a recommendation on what platform can I use to design if there is other than canva. Thank you!

Thanks for your question. You're right in saying that it will need to be ready and finished before uploading to the platform. The best software is Adobe InDesign but it is costly and has a very steep learning curve, it can be quite complex.
We do usually recommend Canva as it is a great platform with loads of options and templates. An alternative would be Adobe Express which does have a free tier (for individuals).
We also have users producing content from Google Docs or Slides (and exporting as a PDF), so either of those may be an option for you too.
I hope that helps.

Thanks for your reply. So how does the platform chooses how to organize the pages? Are there any guidelines I should consider or does it just separates by the number of pages I place on the PDF? Sorry, I know these are probably simple questions for you. But I am just starting to do this. Thanks
No problem! The platform will automatically take the first page as the front cover and display it on its own. Each page would then follow in a normal book format, left page, right page together as a spread. There is nothing to consider when creating your PDF. I hope that helps!

I was just researching this issue online and one alternative is to create the pdf with PowerPoint slides
