FAQ General

Do I need to know any Flash editing?

No. The Flash content (.swf file) is generated automatically by the editor.

You only need to add text and images and other elements to the digital book, make it the way you like. The editor takes care of the Flash content generation and everything else.

 

Do I need to know anything about HTML

No. No HTML knowledge is needed.

All the content is edited in the WYSIWYG editor. There is a built-in text editing panel to input and format your text. 

 

What is the pre-required knowledge?

In order to publish your deco book online, you need to have your own hosting service and know how to upload.

Normally when you put things online,you will need a place to host the content and have a way to transfer the content from your computer to your hosting server.

For the hosting company, we recommend Bluehost, GoDaddy and Yahoo. We use BlueHost to host our website and demos.

For uploading software, we recommend FileZilla (an excellent free software).

What's the whole work flow?

Step 1. Download the software and try it for free

You can directly download the software, installed on your computer and start to build your digital book.

 Beofre you enter the license code, the software will display a trial version stamp on the generated digital book. But other than that, it is full functional.

Step 2. Purchase the software and apply the license.

Make payment via our check out page. At the end of the check out process, you will receive a license code on the screen. The license will also be emailed to you immediately after the payment is processed.

Applying the license code in the editor will remove the trial version stamp.

If you have made payment but have not install the software, you can download the trial version and apply the license.

If you have created a digital book using the trial version software, you need to apply the license, open and then save your digital book design, and re-generate the release.

Step 3. Publish it online

Once you installed the software, you can start using it to design digital books.

Once the design is finished, you can release it to a folder on your computer, and then upload it to your server.

After that, you can also embed the book in your blog.
