The tabs are Content, Design and Output this guide will look specifically at the Content tab and the role of this area in the process of how to create a digital book. To view part 2 of this guide click here. To view part 3 of this guide click here. The content tab may be broadly defined as the area in 3D Issue where the PDF content is imported and thereby allowing the publisher to ensure that: 1.) The correct PDF files are imported 2.) The files are displaying correctly prior to conversion 3.) The files are in the correct order 4.) The correct SEO profile and information is attached 5.) The correct Logo to be used is attached 6.) The correct Copyright information is provided This area of the software is thereby a ‘preliminary’ section, one where set up takes place before any real creative work can take place.

1) TEMPLATE 2) PROFILE 3) ADD, REMOVE, REMOVE ALL Load the 3D Issue software via the 3D Issue shortcut icon on your desktop or from the start or applications menu and select ‘Create New Issue’.

1. Template

Try 3D Issue FREE for 14 days

The template option is only applicable to marketing agencies who are preparing a publication on behalf of their client. For more information on using 3D Issue to provide a service for your clients e-mail us at info@3dissue.com. In these circumstances there will be a logo provided for each client under the template drop down menu. If the software is being used in-house then only one logo will be available which can be named in a later stage.

2. Profile The profile tab must be used at the initial software set up, but may also be used to change settings from time to time, for example to adjust an SEO profile. The following options exist in the Profile menu: Details – Indicate the template name and Copyright information for your digital edition. Logo & Text – Specify the logo, or if it is preferred some text for the publication, which will display in the top left corner of each publication. Domains – This area must include the server, to which the publications will be uploaded. SEO – Profiles may be set up with varying SEO, titles, descriptions, and keywords attached. Information entered into the Profile section of 3D Issue can be amended and updated as appropriate for individual types of flip magazines or catalogues for example. 1) User alternative SEO settings for varying publications, 2) Provide the name for your template; 3) Add an additional server for your publications so they may be viewed; 4) Change the logo or text for the back issues as well as current issues. 4


3. Add, Remove, Remove all.

The features provided in this section of the software are straightforward and simple to understand yet can be vital for quick amends. QUICK TIP Using the ‘add’ option one can change a specific part of the publication and unless a reader has downloaded a copy to their desktop, once a fresh upload has taken place the content will have been updated and the link remains the same. Add - will allow for the addition of a new PDF file; Remove - will take one away; Remove all - will clear the list of PDF files allowing for the import of new files. This is a pragmatic feature in the software which used correctly can allow for a swift change of content.

5


Remove Bleed This option allows for the removal of a border which is used only where content is going to print as hard copy. The bleed may be removed manually or automatically in 3D Issue.

Page order The page order section of 3D Issue allows for the file order to be changed by utilizing the arrow tabs alongside the Add, Remove, and Remove All feature.

6


4. Layout

Try 3D Issue FREE for 14 days

The layout section of the Content tab allows for the preview of the PDFs prior to any additional functionality being added to the publication. It has four options. Single Page Spread – Double page Spread – Mixture of Both

This option allows the content creator to specify where the ‘fold’ or ‘crease’ in the publication is to go. Like the staple in a hard copy magazine at the center fold. The convenient preview window in the Content tab of the software allows for a preview of the publication to ensure that the correct pages are in place and the ‘digital fold’ is in the correct location. This useful option not only ensures that your publication will display as you intend it to but also provides convenient options. For example, it is possible to have a single page flip publication by indicating to the software that a page is double spread where it is actually not. Mixture of both will allow for a combination of single page spreads and double page spreads. “We hope you found this tutorial guide useful.

Page Numbering Starts on – For publications which have selected: Appearance > Navigation panel > Buttons. Exit URL – the reader will be prompted with this exit URL when they leave the publication.

Quick question!

Why not start on page 1? The page numbering will usually not start as page one will be the front cover. Exit URL – the reader will be prompted with this exit URL when they leave the publication. Page numbering will usually not start on page one as page one will usually be the front cover. Similarly page two shall often be an advertisement with a table of contents provided on page three. Often page numbering shall only apply from page five. Always ensure where page numbers are indicated on the creative that the navigation option coincides appropriately. Where ‘thumbnails’ are selected rather than ‘buttons’ for navigation the ‘page numbering starts on’ option is not applicable.

17


Edit e-mail settings for Sharing, Bookmarks, Notes and Comments The edit e-mail settings option allows the publisher to specify the copy for each e-mail via the edit e-mail buttons contained in the Advanced section of the Design Tab. So what does the e-mail function from these features allow? The e-mail function included with these features allows readers to send e-mail directly from the 3D Issue digital publication, so they can share their notes, comments, and bookmarks. Alongside the three options mentioned above there is also the sharing option which is only available in the Professional and Enterprise versions. The sharing option allows readers to share via e-mail, Facebook, Twitter and Google+ So with all this sharing of information from your digital edition is’nt it important to define what exactly is being sent? And thankfully you can. To set the e-mail option click on the Design Tab and under ‘advanced’ at the bottom of the menu there is an option to edit the e-mails which are derived out of each of your publications Flash and HTML5. The e-mail is based around a form which is completed by the reader. It would be advisable to edit these e-mails on a per publication basis – why? 1. If a reader leaves you a comment wouldn’t it be useful to know which publication that comment has come from? consider adding “June Edition” to the text for example so when you get feedback it may be quickly identified – which edition of your publication it came from.

2. If a reader sends a link to a friend via the sharing option this is an opportunity to add a short tag line or a mention of special offers maybe. Sharing is a great way to create new followers, so snappy copy in this space could bring in new readers. 3. The same applies to bookmarks and notes if a reader has created a bookmark or note and wants to share with someone else or themselves a small identification of where the e-mail has come from will make it more useful – remember readers might not open the e-mail to themselves right away so a quick edit by the creator in advance will assist the reader. If you’d like to download this 3D Issue Guide for off-line reading select download from the reader toolbar. 3D Issue Version 7 now comes with full App compatibilty for your readers via the Apple App Store and Google Play Android Marketplace so readers can browse and download for off-line reading.
