1. check your ePaper before downloading it
The most important step is to check your ePaper carefully before downloading it. Experience has shown that this saves valuable working time in case an error occurs.
With a 1000°Standard ePaper, you can generate a password-protected link for your ePaper in the ePaper Studio. You will receive the link via e-mail together with the corresponding password.
You can use the link for 3 days and share it with clients or supervisor, for example. As a professional customer, the final check in the ePaper CMS should be carried out via a preview link.
This is the only way to test the ePaper as a fully functional version (the ePaper preview itself is not suitable for this). In both cases, the preview link is used to make the ePaper
available on our server in exactly the same structure as it will be on your web server. You can also use these links to test an ePaper on different devices, tablets and smartphones.
Incidentally, many errors can be avoided if you meet our PDF requirements. It is therefore best to check the PDF file from which you want to create an ePaper in advance.
Always buy or publish an ePaper only after you have tested it. This will save you valuable time and stress in the event of an error.
2. download and unpack the zip package
If you have purchased a standard ePaper, you can download it as a zip file directly after publishing in ePaper Studio. In ePaper CMS, you can also download the zip file directly after publishing.
To do this, click on the Download ZIP button in the ePaper Actions menu in the middle.
The zip file is essentially a container or package containing many individual files. To access the contents of a package, you must open it.
To unpack a zip file, you may need a packing program;
these days, appropriate tools are usually integrated into the operating system. Always unpack an ePaper zip file into a separate folder.
Depending on the number of pages in an ePaper,
the zip package may contain several hundred individual files and it can take a while to remove them all from the desktop.
It is best to create a new folder into which you move or copy the zip file and only then unzip it.
3. the folder structure of our ePaper
After unpacking, the ePaper is available to you as a folder. View this folder as an open package in which you can now access all files and subfolders.
In the top folder level you will find index.html , highlighted in green in the image. This is the start file of every ePaper and if you open it in a browser, the ePaper should already be working on your computer.
In the epaper subfolder, marked red in the image, you will find several preview images that you can use as teasers when integrating them into your website. Let's take a look at this folder.
4. upload the ePaper to a server
The next step is to upload the ePaper to a web server. The data exchange between your computer and the server works via a program using the file transfer protocol. A reliable and free tool for exactly this purpose is the FTP client Filezilla ( http://www.filezilla.de/ ). We will use this client in this example. Most FTP clients have a similar structure, showing the file system on the computer in one part and the data and folders on the server in the other.
