That's done with Flipping Book Publisher: http://flippingbook.com/

You can download and install the software (there's a free trial button a tthe bottom of the linked page above), load in a PDF, and out pops some auto-generated web pages/scripts OR a standalone exe for CD distribution.

The trial version comes with a few restrictions, but it's still very good for small, simple publications:

• You can import only up to 10 pages;
• The copyright button can be neither removed, nor edited;
• Each page of your publication will contain FlippingBook watermarks;


It's changed a little bit since I last looked at it - a few years ago - for example, it now supports HTML5.

I remember the import being restricted on the trial - you could only load in one PDF doc, whereas in the higher-level purchased versions, you can import multiple and different format docs (an Excel page here, a Word doc there). The skinning options are also quite basic.

If your newsletters are under 10 pages, and you can live with the watermark, and limited template/customisation options in the trial version, it could still be very useful to you though.
