    Why do you want this?
    Is it really different from a usual pdf document with disabled scrolling in Acrobat? You can chose between 1-page and 2-pages view.

    Can be done with online sites like Issuu. It's flashy, but eventually becomes a really annoying way to read.

    Thanks - whilst the site does convert my PDF file to flip flap (as viewed on their site) - when I download it to my PC - It reverts to normal PDF - I am assuming that I need a special viewer ?

    I guess your browser is the 'viewer' - and only for the (link to?) file stored on their website .

    Eventually? More like immediately.

    To the OP: don't. Just, don't.

    Another freebie here if you haven't already got it sorted.

    Thanks - but that site appears to put any docs that you upload on to the site - (if you choose to do it on-line) "ON-LINE" it mentions making them "searchable" - So beware !!!
