Hi!

I understand the idea, and I briefly had it on my list of TODOs, but I decided against doing it ( https://github.com/otacke/h5p-todo/blob/master/README.md#h5ppdf). PDFs are static and used way too often already, so I, personally, wouldn't want to abet even more PDF dispensing.

Best,

Oliver

Hi Otacke,

Hope all is well! Just a quick thought! about pdf flipbook/turn JS. I have been thinking the school I work at got us all these great pdf reader books. So the idea here is to be able to provide the students with the book as flipbook above and have h5p questions under it, e.g. a question set! I created a image to demonstrate the idea. Hopefully this will definitely make the pdf files more engage, another thought with this which is way far fitch for me is if we can use the turnJS and place the h5p content on the pages something similar like interactive videos? I just love the concept of books.

On another note, we definitely need to have like a raise funds for content types to help bring us together, I am sure if we all as a community contribute together we can have more content types developed, just a thought.

 Cheers,

Farrisimin

Hi, I was also thinking about PDFs but more as a way to import slides into the course presentation tool. Images of slides are unsuitable even if they could be added in bulk as they won't be readable by a text reader, but an imported PDF might be. Just a thought.

A simple viewer of pdf has finally arrived... I really needed this as a way to display extras for students.. specifically those over achieving ones... https://github.com/h5p/h5p-pdf-viewer thanks a million.. hopefully we can add it to column content type and tabs..

cheers,

A PDF viewer content type has been in existence for over two years, but not released publicly for not encouraging PDF dispensing.
