Simple Upload

Let people upload PDFs without giving them full access

Updated over a week ago

Please note that Simple Upload is a Legacy feature which is no longer being sold.

By using the Simple Upload module you can allow colleagues with no access to iPaper to create flipbooks.

You simply send them a URL address to a page where they can upload a PDF file, name the Flipbook and view it immediately. The publication will be saved in a folder created by you.
