1. Compare display modes
- Under Document → Display mode choose Classic Page Flip, Slider, Slide or Coverflow Gallery.
- The preview reloads with the current project; you do not need to reimport.
- Test navigation and zoom in Full preview. Slider shows one page at a time; switching mode does not reflow text.
Display mode changes the Studio preview: Classic Page Flip, Slider, Slide and Coverflow are available there. The current HTML and ZIP exporter, also used by Publish Online, produces a Classic Page Flip viewer. A Slider or Coverflow preview does not mean the exported publication uses that effect. Check the final output before choosing a format for your readers.
2. Set PDF image quality before import
- Choose Standard, High or Ultra in Document. High uses scale 2 / JPEG 0.94; a typical A4 page is about 1190 × 1684 px.
- Import after making the choice. Changing quality afterwards does not rerender existing pages.
- For a comparison save the project first, then import the PDF again with the other setting. Ultra cannot restore detail missing from the source.
3. Change viewer background or page color
| Control | Effect |
|---|---|
| Background → Color / thumbnails | Background behind the publication pages. |
| Background → Opacity | Opacity of that background layer; not page/text opacity. |
| Background → Custom image | Custom viewer background, a PRO feature. |
| Pages → Blank page color | Color of the selected blank page only. |
| Text/Shape properties → Opacity | Opacity of that added element. |
- Click a Background thumbnail or choose Color.
- Adjust Opacity and inspect the area outside the pages.
- For your own file choose Custom image and check PRO availability.
4. Configure reader controls
- In Navigation choose Bottom navigator style, for example Compact Dark or Minimal Light.
- Enable Show bottom navigator. Set Arrow style, size, Icon color and Button color.
- Open Full preview and check that the controls do not cover important text or buttons.
- Save Project to preserve the settings, then export again or Update the hosted edition.
