Previous Major Released Build (Aug 13, 2012): FlipViewer Xpress Creator (Build 2.6.1.255R2)
Feature Improvements:
Video Tool Integrated into FVX Creator
The Video Tool is now integrated into the FVX Creator. At the Page Setting dialog box, when you move your mouse cursor above any of the File Names of the pages, you will see the thumbnail of that page with a Video icon on it. Clicking the thumbnail will launch the Video Tool for you to add an FLV video onto the page. The video will be automatically added to the relevant folders. No repackaging is required.
1-Page PDF is now supported
You can now add a PDF source file consisting of only 1 page. FVX Creator will automatically append a blank filler page.
Non-English Characters in Filename Supported
Resource files with non-English characters in the filename are now supported.
Show Shadow
By default, a shadow effect will be displayed in the middle spine of the FlipBook. This shadow effect can be made to appear for the whole FlipBook or for specific pages only. You can determine which particular pages need the shadow effect and which pages do not by simply selecting/deselecting the respective check box(es).
New Flipping Cursor
A flipping cursor will appear when the user moves the mouse over the flipping area.
Width of Flipping Area
The width of the flipping area can now be specified in the launching page. By default it is set at 30 pixels.
Email Address
The About Box now allows the publisher to add an email address.
Table Of Contents
Entries in the Table of Content can be "Moved up" or "Moved down" the list.
Show Help Window at Book Launch
The Help Window can be made to appear at book launch to allow the user a quick glance of how to use the functions of the FlipViewer Xpress Viewer.
Preview Function
You can have a quick review of how your book will look like by clicking the “Preview” button. This preview function allows you to preview the book and all the settings (default or otherwise) that you have made at any point of the creation process. The Preview function will only display the first 10 pages or 5% of the FlipBook, whichever is higher.
Output for iPhone and iPad
If the book is opened on iPad, iFlipViewer App will be launched to view the book. If the same book is opened on iPhone, the PDF Viewer will be launched instead.
Keyboard Navigation
When the book is launched under normal viewing mode (ie non-zoom mode), the user will be able to use the left/right arrow keys to flip the page and up/down arrow keys to flip to the front/back covers respectively.
Printing of Centerfold Pages
Centerfold pages will be printed on the same page instead of two separate pages.

- Duplicated Embedded Code observed at the last step of FVXC Uploader.
