Comparison

An interactive flipbook vs. a static PDF

Both start from the exact same file. One sits silently in a Downloads folder. The other sells, captures leads, and tells you which page closed the deal. Here’s the honest, line-by-line difference.

Free plan · no credit card · same PDF, no redesign

The old way

A static PDF

Emailed as an attachment or dropped behind a link. The reader pinches to zoom, then closes the tab. You never hear about it again.

The PDF Leads way

An interactive flipbook

Same PDF, now a branded, installable catalog. Every page can quote, sell, link and track — and you see exactly what worked.

PDF Leads
Where a PDF goes quiet

Three things your catalog should do — that a PDF never will.

01

Capture the lead on the page

A PDF can’t ask a question. Every flipbook page carries a quote form, an email gate and Buy-Now links — and the exact page travels with the request, so context never gets lost.

02

Tell you what actually worked

With a PDF you’re blind. PDF Leads shows per-page views, dwell, drop-off and likes — and whether they came in by QR, social card or email signature.

03

Bring the reader back

A PDF ends when they close it. An installed catalog becomes a channel — send a flash sale or a new-catalog alert straight to their home screen, no ad budget.

No redesign required

You keep the PDF. You just stop sending it flat.

Upload the catalog you already print. The first page becomes the cover automatically. Apply your branding preset and share one link — it works in email signatures, on QR codes, in WhatsApp and on social.

Update it once and every link you’ve ever shared is current. No re-sending a “v2 FINAL” attachment again.

Straight answers

Do I have to rebuild my catalog?

No. PDF Leads works with the exact PDF you already print. Upload it, apply a branding preset, and share — the first page automatically becomes the cover.

Isn’t a flipbook just a PDF with page-turn animation?

The reading modes are the surface. Underneath, every page can capture a quote, gate an email, link to checkout, play a video and report its own analytics — none of which a PDF can do.

Will it still work for people who just want to read?

Yes. Readers can flip, swipe or scroll on any device, and install it to their home screen. The selling layer is there when they’re ready, never in the way.

What does it cost to try?

There’s a free forever plan — 3 PDFs and quote capture, no credit card. Paid plans start at $19/month when the leads start coming in.

Your catalog is ready. It just doesn’t sell yet.
