The Content Tab

3D Issue software provides an intuitive user interface
separated into three tabs with three core purposes.

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.

How to get started

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’.
A window will appear, simply select the PDF file or files for conversion
into a digital edition then click ‘Open’.
3D Issue allows for the import of PDFs individually and also where the
PDF file contains multiple PDFs. Both types of file may be imported into
the software together.

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
[email protected]. 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.

3. Add, Try 3D Issue FREE for 14 days
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

Try 3D Issue FREE for 14 days

4. Layout

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.

• Create an audio flipbook

The audio flipbook is a new tool that allows you to create
narrations for publications, You can assign audio files to
particular pages and then assign actions such as “flipping to
the next page” once the audio clip has completed. This is a
great little tool for creating narrated stories or portfolios.

13

User Login

In version 7 a new section has
been added to the design tab that
allows you to control and monitor
access to your digital magazines.
This new user login tool allows you
to determine when and how a user
has to login to continue reading
your publication. You can choose
to have the reader:

• Login when the magazine is launched
• Login when the reader attempts to zoom in for the first time
• Login after they have read X number of pages
• Login after a set amount of time has past

From here you can also determine where the user is directed to,
should they forget their password or wish to register for the first time.

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.

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.

Try 3D Issue FREE for 14 days

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.

The Output tab of 3D Issue is usually the final tab used in the
publishing process.
This area of the software provides the publisher with many
options including:
1. Providing different reading options for readers;
2. Setting quality settings, DPI, and zoom level;
3. Previewing all settings prior to upload.
There are three sections in the 3D Issue Output tab

Format Section Try 3D Issue FREE for 14 days

The Format section lists the numerous options that may be
activated prior to upload. Some features will require prior
planning for example to publish directly to a Facebook page.

The first option is ‘Online (Flash/HTML5)’ Check this option
prior to upload to ensure that each publication may be viewed on
desktop and mobile devices e.g. PC, MAC, Apple iPad, iPhone
or other tablet/Smartphone device. Note that deactivating the
‘Online (Flash / HTML5)’option will reduce options to’standalone’
and ‘eBook’ only – as all other versions are hosted on-line only
and require an upload for distribution.

Tip: Need to create epub & mobi files?

Check out 3D Issue ebook creator, part of the 3D Issue
Publishing Suite Version 7.

Each publication has a specific URL, which may be opened on
any device. Readers on a Desktop PC or MAC will be presented
with a publication in Flash whilst on iPad the same URL will
display the HTML5 version of the publication.

Upload Option

Within the window, you will be required to complete the details of your
FTP settings:
Name: There is no specific name required for the upload feature to
function; you can enter any name you wish for this profile.
FTP Server Address: Here you will be required to enter the FTP server
address of your website. If the FTP address is unknown, contact your
network administrator or web service provider.

Note that the FTP address specified must be the same
domain provided at the start up wizard otherwise your
publication will search for a logo and not display anything
to the reader.

Username and Password: When accessing your site via FTP you will
also require a username and password to gain access.

The add button allows you to add your FTP setting and the edit button
allows you to edit your FTP settings.

The next screen asks for the upload location to be selected.
Then, where the 3D Issue archive file should sit. This needs
to be accessed by the software in the future when you create
other digital editions that you would like to be added to the
archive section of your digital editions.

The next window will ask you to select a folder on your
website where the digital publication needs to be stored.
Select Finish and now you are ready to upload your
publication.

7

Preview and Build

At any time during a 3D Issue session
the publication can be previewed
which is vital prior to uploading the
publication. The preview mode is
flash based therefore you will only be able to view the html5
editions when they are uploaded onto your site.

When the publication is ready to be uploaded, it is initiated
via the Build button. This will complete the creation of the
additional formats such as tablet, mobile and e-Book and
then upload all the online editions directly to your website.

The software will also ask if you would like to add the
publication to the archive.

When the upload is complete, select the “View-Online” button
