Set the location for your Flipbook, this could be any folder, or subfolder, in your account.
Optional: Add the PDF you wish to use as the base from which your Flipbook will be created.
You can drag and drop the PDF file from your computer into the dotted area – or
Upload or select a PDF from Media by clicking in the Choose PDF field
Optional: If you have an existing Enrichment Automation, you can apply it to your Flipbook, here.
Click Create flipbook.
