How to Publish PDFs Online?

When in 1993 Adobe Systems introduced the PDF (Portable Document Format) to the world, they probably didn’t even imagine the size of a revolutionary they started. By improving the process of creating, sharing, and accessing digital documents, they made online publishing both easy and efficient on a previously unknown scale. It would be a pity not to take advantage of this opportunity, wouldn’t it?

Is there anyone who remembers sharing documents before PDFs time? The days of floppy disks and dot-matrix printers, when everything was a cumbersome process that involved printing papers out and physically handing them over to someone.

I wonder what Generation Z would say about this process since even to Millennials it sounds so… ancient. 

The truth is, thirty years later, PDF remains the most popular format worldwide for publishing almost every type of online document and publication, including digital magazines and e-books. What is new, however, is that along with the development of technology and the appearance of publishing software solutions, PDF has also become the best format for professional monetization of various types of publications.

How a Web-based Kiosk Can Help Expand Your Magazine’s Reach Online

When it comes to traditional publishing, the number of places where you physically distribute or advertise your magazine results directly in reach. Even though the possibilities are limited, the rule is simple: the more points, the better. As for digital publishing, it’s quite the opposite. One great optimized web-based kiosk is enough to open up endless possibilities in terms of online reach.

It is all about how many people have access to – or are exposed to – your publications. In this context, the differences between the capabilities of traditional and digital publishing models are huge, both in terms of the possibilities of increasing the reach and the ways of measuring it. 

Taking these two aspects into account, web-based kiosks win, and you will see why in a moment.

What Does the End of Adobe Flash Mean for Digital Publishers?

Some people think of it with a tear in their eyes; others claim with relief that it’s a natural necessity that had to come some time; the rest feel the excitement of looking for new solutions. The end of Adobe Flash Player planned on December 31, 2020, is already a certainty. It will bring digital publishers new, exciting challenges in their business functioning.

In 2007, Mark Anders, back then an Adobe employee, described the Flash as a new publishing tool of the century, and pointed out how it changes the digital world: “We have let more people publish – whether it’s blogging or having a MySpace page, or uploading to YouTube”. He probably didn’t expect then that a decade later Adobe would announce the death of this technology.

Although it cannot be denied that Flash had a huge contribution to the development of Internet websites and digital magazines, its time has come to an end. Today we are getting ready to say goodbye to this technology for good.

What does it mean for publishers who have used digital publishing platforms based on Flash?
