How can I embed the ePaper on a website?

Our ePapers can be easily integrated into a website in just a few steps. In the first part of this tutorial you will learn briefly and concisely what you need to do.
If you publish your ePaper with us via a web link, only the 4th point is relevant.

  1. Check your ePaper before downloading: If errors occur in the ePaper, they are usually already visible on our servers. Always use a preview link to check. For a 1000°ePaper Standard, you will find this in your user interface in the ePaper Studio . As a user of the ePaper CMS, you can generate a preview link for each ePaper before publishing.
  2. Download and unzip the zip package: After purchasing or publishing an ePaper, download the zip file. For the ePaper Standard you download directly in the ePaper Studio, the 1000° ePaper Professional via the ePaper CMS. Unzip the zip file into a separate folder. After unzipping, you will find index.html, the start file of the ePaper, in the top folder (root folder). You can also open this file locally in a browser.
  3. Upload the complete ePaper to a server: The emphasis here is on complete. Make absolutely sure that all subfolders and the files they contain have also been uploaded to the server in full.
  4. Link the ePaper on your website: After uploading, simply link the index.html from the root folder of the ePaper on a website. The complete URL address usually results from the server domain and the path to the index.html of the ePaper.


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.

5. embed the ePaper in the HTML code of a website
A website on a server usually has a root directory in which files and other folders are stored. You can compare this to the drive letter on your computer, C: is usually the root directory of the start hard disk. You can use the file explorer to click through the folders in which you organize and save your data. On the server, the root directory of the website usually corresponds to a domain, such as 1000grad-ePaper.de. In a browser, files and folders are accessed, interpreted and displayed via the URL in the address bar.  Once uploaded to the server, the ePaper can therefore be accessed via a URL address on the Internet.

We hope this guide provided you with a helpful introduction to integrating ePapers into your website. Try out the ePaper Standard now!
