Rating: 2 stars
I published a 42-page PDF as a flipbook. Works great when viewed in Firefox, but in Chrome, Microsoft Edge, or Internet Explorer all I get is a “Loading” indicator that spins forever.

It works!

I am testing this plugin for a client. It took a while to find the [X] to close the display because I am logged in and the tool bar obscures it. That said, it seems to work reasonably well on a laptop computer, but it is not responsive. The first page is only half visible and the second page is only half visible (the other half).
So — while it looks promising for a desktop/laptop it seems hopeless for mobile users.

This beats majority of other plugins out there. Works as expected without any issues. Keep up the good work author!

Seems like a great plugin but the ability to not edit the page layout renders it useless as it just takes over the page default and doesn’t always work with the theme you choose.

**UPDATE**
I’m revising my review as of the discovery that grid.css (in ..wppdf/css/) in this plugin contains CSS that directly affects critical text stylesheets; attributing new CSS for h1, hr, .centered, and .wrapper, causing significant changes in the appearance of most any installed theme.
I was able to delete the entries for .centered, .wrapper, hr, and h1 from grid.css without (apparently) losing any basic plugin functionality, for this code appears to be leftovers lifted directly from Ali Jafarian’s CSS grid tutorial.
While this remains one of the few stable, free flipbook plugins out there, I’d suggest a .PDF reader over this plugin, especially for newcomers. This plugin does NOT work out of the box, it’s not responsive (don’t even resize your screen when the flipbook is open!), and it’s not particularly good unless you MUST have a flipbook on your site.
**ORIGINAL REVIEW**
There is very little documentation for this plugin, but I chose to use it as it displayed my .PDF files nicer (and more reliably) than any of the other plugins out there (and I could pull my .PDF file directly out of my media bin).
However, this plugin is not really usable as packaged. It requires a fix (see below) to be user-friendly for website visitors – and the functions of the plugin remain very limited.
The main problem with this plugin is that it will not open in a lightbox nor does it have a function to close the flipbox window when opened. As designed, the plugin’s shortcode will place a thumbnail on your site which, when clicked, opens the viewer in the same window. However, there is no exit button nor does clicking on the background do anything, neither is there an option for a target=”_blank”-like function to return to the previous page.
I made the effort of examining the code and developed a workaround with an [X] close button that uses Javascript to return to the last known page (https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/once-flipbook-is-open-how-do-you-close-it?replies=2). This makes the plugin reasonably workable for anyone visiting the content on your site.
Since it’s one of the few stable, free flipbox .PDF viewers out there, I consider it passable for the meantime – it’s also the only reason I bothered to come up with a code hack.
With the fix, it is deserving of three stars – but not without it.

Good thing, only do I have a file with square pages, this does not display properly. Maybe a feature for future versions. Thanks anyway!

First impression is good. Hope it will get updated with some new features soon ??
