Create online user manual

By using Paperturn, you can easily and automatically convert your existing user manual PDF file into an online user manual.
Your online user manual will have the look of a "real" (physical) user manual, with facing "flip turn" effect pages, and will benefit from inbuilt qualities designed to strengthen your online presence. Create an online user manual by using the Paperturn flipbook system.

  

Create an online user manual

When you use Paperturn to convert your existing user manual PDF file, the pages of your new online user manual are positioned facing each other, and are turned using our flip turn effect – giving your reader the feel of a "real" (physical) user manual – there are no long files for your reader to scroll through, meaning that your manual will be both easy to read and, crucially, to engage with.
 

Reduce your costs for support

As the owner of a Paperturn online manual, you will be able to direct customers with queries to links / relevant portion of your manual – where they can find the answers to their queries, thereby removing the need for you to spend time/money in drafting answers to customer queries.

This is possible because the individual pages of the online user manual are given their own addresses (URLs), as opposed to one complete file with only one address (URL).
Paperturn optimizes the online user manual for being found in Google when users are searching for its content - meaning that your customers are more likely to find the solutions on their own - again, saving you both time and money. 

  

Your online presence is strengthened

The online user manual will form new valuable content that can be added to a range of online platforms (website, Facebook, etc.). Your online user manual will constantly be accessible, when your customers need it.
Having an online user manual means that your customers will always have access to the most "up to date" information available. This is because the online user manual can easily be overwritten / updated without any loss of its existing features and settings.
If a mistake is spotted in the online user manual and you have a PDF file with a correction of that mistake, then the original PDF file can simply be overwritten by the new PDF file. The existing features and settings of the online user manual will automatically be sustained.
As online use of your user manual increases – your physical user manual may eventually become obsolete.  Both time and money will be saved; it will no longer be necessary to go through the troublesome and cost-intensive steps that are involved in changing a physical user manual, and your printing and distribution costs could be vastly reduced. If a mistake is noticed in the online user manual it is not necessary to re-print and re-distribute new material; the changes are simply made online.

Online user instructions

A user manual is often comprehensive as it addresses many issues, e.g. requirements, installation, user instructions, disclaimer etc.  If it isn't necessary to cover all these topics, and the only thing needed is online user instructions, Paperturn is fully capable of making just that.
 

Create online user instructions

Paperturn can be utilized for creating online user instructions regarding digital as well as physical products. The only prerequisite is that you have an existing PDF file with user instructions.

By using Paperturn, a PDF file with user instructions can be turned into online user instructions. As opposed to traditional user instructions (printed as a catalogue etc), it is possible to integrate a video into the online user instructions. For instance, if there is a video on YouTube that instructs the viewers in using a certain product, this video can be incorporated into online user instructions that deal with the same product. This is easily created in the settings of Paperturn.
