pdf to mz3
« on: July 27, 2010, 11:24:22 am »
I'm new to Megazine and would like to create a flip book from a 40 page pdf file.
I followed the tut on http://www.vservu.de/my-mz3-books/index-TUT1.html
Everything seems to work, exept, there is no map created with all the files of the book.
I still work on Windows XP. Could that be the problem?

No, it's the way it works. No map created with the tools right now.

A Table Of Content must be done in some other way if you want one.

tanks for your time.
I'm still not sure ... following the tut, there should be a map with the page1.swf, page2.swf etc
But after I drop my pdf file onto the bat file it looks as if it is creating the files but nothing is there ...

What exactly is your problem?
Perhaps also a newer (but still a draft) version of the tutorial is available:
Tutorial for MZ3 book creators (draft!)

Together with new versions of the command files; with some enhancements and corrections. And supporting multi-lingual and some new features of MegaZine3.
Downside: because of multilingual supprt the suggested (and for the tools to work: needed) folder structure changed. So if you got used to the old one, you have to learn some more ;-)
Links are provided in the tutorial; the latest set of tools can be downlaoded here (without all the sample images and video):
English package
German package

Please use the latest nightly build together with those tools (actually build 481), since some of the features already supported only work with the newer and not yet released version:
MZ3 Binaries - nighly build 481

If that does not answer your question, please give more details/examples
