Comparison
Viewnamic vs. Adobe rich media and flipbook tools
Adobe embeds media into the PDF file – the file becomes large, and the media only play in a few PDF viewers. Flipbook tools convert your document into their own format and often show videos as YouTube links in an overlay, where ads can play first. Viewnamic keeps your PDF unchanged and plays your own video files exactly on the page – in every browser, with autoplay, loop and player controls as you choose.
- Fully supported
- Partly or with limits
- Not possible

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What can I do with Viewnamic?
Viewnamic publishes your PDFs online in a fast viewer with scroll and presentation mode and, depending on your plan, magazine page-flip. You share them with a link; depending on your plan, you also embed them on your website, list them on your public page, show them in your own branding and see how they are read. Optionally, you add videos, 3D models, click dummies, image slideshows and clickable links to the pages.
Do I need interactive content to use Viewnamic?
No. Many customers publish regular PDFs such as magazines, catalogues and reports – in the viewer and, depending on their plan, with magazine mode, embedding, their own branding and analytics. Interactive content is an optional extra.
Which media can I add to a PDF?
Videos (MP4, MOV, AVI, WebM, MKV), 3D models (GLB, GLTF, OBJ, STL), click dummies made of JPG or PNG screens, image slideshows and clickable link areas. All of them are shown on top of the page in the viewer; the PDF file itself is not changed.
How is Viewnamic different from Adobe Acrobat and flipbook tools?
Adobe rich media embeds videos into the PDF file: the file becomes large, and the videos only play in a few PDF viewers. Flipbook tools convert your document into their own format and often show videos as YouTube links in an overlay, where ads can play first. Viewnamic keeps your PDF unchanged, shows it exactly as designed and plays your own video files right on the page – in every browser, with autoplay, loop and player controls as you choose.
Can I try Viewnamic for free?
Yes. The free trial runs for 30 days and includes one PDF publication with up to 100 pages and 3 videos, 3D models or click dummies. Features such as your own branding, reader statistics, website embedding, magazine mode and secure sharing depend on the plan you choose – the pricing page compares them.
