Create a product catalog with duplicated pages and an index

Build six pages: cover, contents, three matching product sheets and contacts. Link the contents entries to the actual page numbers.

1. Build the page structure

  1. Create from Scratch → A4 Portrait, Pages 1, Create Flipbook. Add the cover using Text and Image.
  2. With page 1 selected, choose Pages → + Blank for the contents page. Leave it empty for now.
  3. With page 2 selected, + Blank creates page 3, your first product sheet.

2. Design the first product sheet

  1. Use Add Content → Text for category and product name. Draw separate fields for code, price and specifications. “L-101”, “€29.90” and “Height 35 cm” are sample values to replace.
  2. Choose Image, select the product photo and draw its area. For a decorative panel, add Shape and send it Backward in Interactive content.
  3. Add a Button labelled “Check availability” with the real product URL. Studio does not synchronize inventory or prices with an online shop.
  4. Double-click Text for Font, Bold, color and alignment, then Apply changes. This edits an added text element, not wording printed inside a PDF page.
Studio controls for interactive content.

3. Duplicate and replace the data

  1. Select page 3 in Pages and click Duplicate. Update every text on page 4.
  2. Select its image, then Edit selected element to choose the new file.
  3. Edit the button URL. Copied pages retain the previous product destination.
  4. Duplicate page 4 for page 5 and repeat. Select page 5 and add + Blank for page 6; enter contacts and buying conditions.
Pages controls for insertion, duplication and order.

4. Create the clickable contents

  1. Return to page 2 and add three product/category names with Text.
  2. For the first choose Interactive content → + Link area → Internal page, Target page 3, then Draw area on page over the name.
  3. Repeat for targets 4 and 5. Add a “Back to contents” area on each product sheet targeting page 2.
  4. After reordering or inserting pages, check every internal target number. Test links in Full preview; the viewer may require PRO for link interactions.

5. Maintain the edition

  1. Save a .pdfinflip copy with an edition name in your own archive.
  2. Test the contents and all three product URLs. Export/publish and repeat at the final URL.
  3. For a later price change, Open Project, double-click its Text, Apply changes and Save Project.
  4. With the correct edited project open, use Online Flipbooks → Update on the matching publication to keep its URL. See the update procedure.
