FlipBook
The FlipBook application is used to view a publication as a virtual book. In Veripress, a publication is defined as a group
of pages with the same publication name. This is a collection of book or magazine signatures that have been de-­imposed,
but a publication may consist of any number of pages.
FlipBook allows you to load the publication and flip through
pages as you would with a real magazine or book. This enables
you to check that the de-­‐imposition has worked correctly, that
pages are in the correct order, orientation and if there are any
duplicates. Larger views of the pages can be called up and the
whole publication can be exported to PDF or as a QuickTime
movie.
FlipBook can be opened in three ways:
1. From the Application menu of the Serendipity Client.
Publications can be dragged and dropped from the
QueueManager into the FlipBook window and will open
automatically.
2. From the QueueManager application by selecting a job
and choosing View Flipbook. The View FlipBook option
is only available if the job has a publication name.
3. From the BookMonitor application by selecting a
Publication title and choosing View FlipBook. If the
pages for the selected publication title have not been imaged or rendered in the QueueManager yet, the
FlipBook will open but will not show any pages.
The FlipBook window comprises of four (4) main panels – Publication, Pagination, Page View and Page Index.
Publication Panel
This panel contains the name of the Publication being viewed.
Pagination Panel
• Start – Enter the page number for the starting page or use the arrows to select the first page number of the
FlipBook. If the first page loaded is page 1, you cannot alter the start page number. If the first page loaded is
greater than 1, you can enter a lower value as the start page number. This can be used if you are viewing a part
publication where the first pages have not been processed.
• Top Page – Choose whether the top page of the FlipBook is Even or Odd.
Page View Panel
This panel is where the FlipBook pages can be viewed. When a FlipBook is opened, the pages of the publication are
loaded and displayed in 2D (two-­‐dimensional) view. There are various ways to navigate through the publication:
• Clicking on the page of the image – If you click on the right page, you move forward through the publication.
Clicking on the left page moves backwards.
• Clicking on the pages in the Page Navigator Panel – displayed below the Page View panel. The view jumps to
the page (pair) you select.
• Space Bar – The space bar moves forward to the next pair of pages. Hold the shift key and press the space bar
to move backwards.
• PageUp/PageDown – Use these buttons on the keyboard to navigate forwards and backwards through the
publication.
• Arrow Keys – Use down or right arrow keys to move forward through the publication and left or up to move
backwards.
• Scroll Bar – Moving the scroll bar below the image moves forwards or backwards through the publication.
