Digital publication, flipbooks & annotations
Editorial content has several destinations. The Reymann course combines flipbook generation, IN5 exports, in-browser annotations and deliverables suitable for web distribution.

editorial production.
These Rey’actif views situate the functions in the editorial chain: products, images, pages and validation. They come from a demonstration of the platform in 2018.

A catalogue can be used in the form of pages, PDFs, product images or online publications. The preparation must specify what each channel expects: content, price, resolution and resource organization.
The Ludendo and Mr. Bricolage experiences illustrate this connection between documents, digital media and updates. The challenge is to maintain coherent material while adapting the deliverable to its destination.
Automate flipbook preparation
The automatic generation of flipbooks was part of Rey’actif services. She had to register in the production chain and find the pages corresponding to the requested publication.
Preparation includes the choice of version, the order of pages and the resources needed for consultation. Updates must make it possible to replace a corrected output without losing the link with its edition.
Link IN5 exports to annotations
An API was dedicated to a Chrome extension annotations on IN5 exports. This organization linked content consulted in the browser to correction exchanges.
The integration requires preserving the context of the remark: publication, page, version and element concerned. An annotation becomes usable when the production team can relate it to the document to be used.

The course also includes the analysis of PDF annotations, their attachments and their encodings. It was necessary to circulate comments between tools while preserving information useful for processing.
The design of a validation process combines consultation, comment, correction and new version. Users need to understand what output they are working on and when a change is taken into account.
