Enable readers to print the PDF (recommended)
Step 1:
When customizing your flipbook, click on Menu controls, then check the Print PDF option. A print icon will appear on the Navigation bar with the Print PDF option enabled.
Step 2:
Once done, click on Share now.
Step 3:
Then, click on Update.
For your reader, it will look like this: they will flip through the pages of your flipbook and will be able to click on the Print PDF option.
Next, in the Destination section, they will select the printer. In the Scale section, they will choose the Fit to paper option and click the Print button.
Share the print-ready PDF with your readers (2nd option)
Another option for sharing the print-ready PDF with your readers is the following:
Choose the flipbook you want to print, and then click the Download button from the main dashboard. Choose the option to download the PDF for printing. Send the PDF to your readers to give them the option to print it.
Remember, our recommendation is to allow your readers to print the PDF by themselves.
