Paperturn Reviews & Product Details

Paperturn makes it easy to share PDFs as live, interactive links. This has made it extremely easy for my team and me to share annual reports with donors, rather than sending them by snail mail or as email attachments. It's simple to upload and customize PDFs, and I especially like the "contents" feature, which makes it easy for the recipient to skip to specific sections. I can't stress how easy this tool is. I uploaded, customized, and shared my first report in a matter of minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The one downside I've encountered so far is the preview image being downgraded when using the share thumbnail feature. There's no perfect ratio of physical size to image quality for my current reports. It's a very cool feature, but the downgrading of the image quality makes it difficult to fully take advantage of it.

Excellent product, ease of use and the ability to brand it with our own logos colours etc. It is very easy to create the turning brochures and then use the update facility to simply change the brochure when changes have been made or there is a newer version. Having team members allocated is also fantastic as well as the ability to insert video and hyper links. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing really as of yet we have not found any issues or things we dislike. Everything from the initial sales and sign up to the implementation of the software has been excellent, plus the follow on service is very good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software was very easy to use. I had no previous experience with page-turning software, and Paperturn was effortless to get started with and navigate; thanks to a user friendly UI.

The customer service was also exceptional. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

nothing really, its quite hard to pick up on any flaws Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how easy Paperturn is to use and how seamless the end-user experience is. People want to engage with the learning assets, and I can create them quickly without a dedicated designer. The rich data helps me tell the story of our impact on the business. I also found the setup super easy, and Dan was great to work with—he held our hand throughout. I like being able to share key messages in a highly engaging, easy-to-access format that’s more interesting than emails and PDFs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’d like Paperturn to support embedding videos from more platforms, such as internal SharePoint sites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the simplicity and ease of use of Paperturn. The interface is very simple to use, which makes it easy for me to teach other people internally. It's stripped back considerably compared to more complicated Adobe products. You don't need a designer's or coder's knowledge to understand it, and anybody on my team seems to be able to pick it up easily. The ease of application is a great selling point for it. The initial setup was very easy and seamless, with no bumps, and the support from Dan Rees was really helpful. I'd be happy to set it up again if needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the things that could be improved is I'd like to have a better copy and paste function. Currently, I have to copy it, save the page, then paste it, and save the page again, which is not very straightforward. Having a more fluid copy and paste for when you want multiple buttons of the same size would be beneficial. Also, with the alignment tools, it would be nice to have something similar to an alignment tool in Adobe products rather than just having to work on coordinates. For me, I understand the coordinates, but trying to explain that to other people takes a while for them to understand. Alignment has to be done on a pixel location.

What drew me to Paperturn initially was the premium user experience the platform is able to deliver to our readers. Making it very easy to link from one issue to another, and back again, offering our audience seamless access to related content, was exactly the sort of user experience we were interested in delivering.

Once we made the decision to use the Paperturn platform, I was very impressed with the level of customer service they deliver. I have no hesitation in recommending Paperturn to industry colleagues. (Unless they're our competition.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I honestly have no complaints. The platform is solid; our readers are happy; and their customer service is excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really appreciate the way it looks. It’s cool that the pages actually turn in the flipbooks, and overall it feels like a high-quality product. On top of that, the people I’ve spoken with at the company have been very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike how expensive it is. My company uses it for very specific reasons, and we don’t have much use for the extra features, so there isn’t much flexibility to pay only for what we actually need. I do appreciate the new pricing model, but in my opinion the overall cost is still too high for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to brand generated flip books and the after sales care. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The plans can be revised. They do not accommodate someone who wants to send 1 or 2 files with some of the options available, for example, under the growth plan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to convert documents with interactive content in a format which relates to a physical document. A useful tool is being able to manage our platform so documents can be taken down / edited live. We have also received excellent customer service from Dan Rees with differing needs and interaction with stakeholders within our business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No immediate dislikes other than the risk of loosing our content if we don't continue to annually subscribe Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Paperturn flipbooks are a useful way to share Rewards information about your company, both internally and with external candidates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When editing, the entire page should be replaced based on the original .pptx that was saved as a .pdf. Sometimes, in larger companies where multiple people maintain brochures, the original source files can get lost, and trying to recreate them from a .pdf isn’t the best solution.

My suggestion is to allow uploading the .pptx so it’s automatically converted to .pdf, while keeping both formats available to download. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
