How to put a lot of text online without using pdf's ??

[Boblebad]

Hi there

I hope someone here can help me out a bit

I know pdf is pain, i'm not that glad myself when i run into them, but what is the best way to do it ??

I have a lot of magazines that need to be put online, i have a lot of them in pdf's, so i can easily copy the text from them and put it onto the site ass it can be done..

I use WordPress and i don't know if there's some kind of plugin i could use, i would love it that it could be as reading in the magazines, where you just click next page - but it needs to be searchable, and it needs to be veiwable in different list-ways, like looking through them in years, or writer of an article, or something else...

The magazines in them self are over 50 pages each, so it's a lot of text, so it needs to be good optimized regarding the load on the database when searching aso.

I would love to keep one magazine pr post, not so the reader has to search for the next post to find the next page - and i wold really love to stay in the environment of WordPress, and the theme i use..

It's possible to see my site at www.kosmologiskset.dk

How can this be done ??

I don't mind a little programming, but i'm no nerd at that ;-)

Best regards

You could try using a page flipper. Basically the concept is that it will automatically convert your pdf into a flash file that works like an online magazine.

I'm not sure offhand if there's anything that will do this automatically for Wordpress, but there's definitely one for Joomla!.

You can see an example that we built for a client using Joomla at:

There are also various services and products you can buy to do this. One I've dealt with before was called Page Gangster. They tend to vary both in payment structuring (some are products to install, others are services you pay for per-conversion, others are hosted services) and price levels.

Best of luck!

Hi Nathan

Thanks for your reply

It looks interesting, i'll do a search on plugins for WP, cause the magazines are already online for downloading, i was just looking for a way to integrate them better into the site - so the paying option is really not an option - but i'll take a dive into what can be found in the magazine-plugin section

Thanks and again, and the best
