Privacy
FLUX PDF FLIP does not transmit PDFs, analytics, reading history or diagnostics to Codestorm Technology. Visitor favorites and reading position use local browser storage. Local statistics are disabled by default and can require explicit consent. See docs/PRIVACY.md for details.
External services
FLUX PDF FLIP does not require any external service for PDF or image flipbooks.
If a site administrator explicitly adds a YouTube or Vimeo video hotspot, the visitor’s browser may connect directly to that video provider when the embedded media is loaded. This may transmit information such as the visitor’s IP address and browser information to that provider.

Source code and bundled libraries
Human-readable source for the Gutenberg blocks is included in each blocks/*/src directory. Reproducible build guidance is documented in docs/SOURCE_BUILD.md.
Bundled third-party libraries are shipped locally; the plugin does not fetch executable code from a CDN. Upstream human-readable sources are available at:
- StPageFlip 2.0.7: https://github.com/Nodlik/StPageFlip/tree/v2.0.7
- PDF.js 3.11.174: https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/releases/tag/v3.11.174
- QRCode.js: https://github.com/davidshimjs/qrcodejs
- Poppins: https://github.com/itfoundry/Poppins
- Oxanium: https://github.com/sevmeyer/oxanium
PDF.js is loaded locally with dynamic JavaScript evaluation disabled (isEvalSupported: false) in every FLUX PDF FLIP document-opening path.
Installation

- Open FLUX PDF FLIP > Overview.

[flux_pdf_flip id="123"]. - Use the Flipbook Shelf block or

Frequently asked questions
Are PDFs sent to a third-party service?
No. The plugin bundles its viewer libraries and processes PDFs locally. Optional statistics and support logs remain on your WordPress installation.
Can a protected PDF be downloaded through its original Media Library URL?
When a local PDF is changed to Private or Protected, the plugin moves it into a dedicated protected subdirectory under the WordPress uploads directory, removes the original public copy, and serves the file only through the plugin’s authorization endpoint. Remote PDFs cannot be protected because their host remains outside WordPress control.
Does search work with scanned PDFs?
Search uses the text layer embedded in the PDF. Image-only scans need OCR before upload. FLUX PDF FLIP does not send documents to an OCR service.
Can I disable download, printing, sharing, motion or sound?
Yes. Reader controls and visual effects are configurable per flipbook, and non-essential effects can be disabled globally.
Which builders are supported?
Gutenberg and Full Site Editing are native. Optional adapters load only when Elementor, Bricks, Beaver Builder, WPBakery or WooCommerce is active. Shortcodes remain the universal fallback.
Where is diagnostic information stored?
Logs are off by default, local, redacted and rotated. The Support page can export a report that removes URLs, IPs, emails, credentials and private server paths.
Where is the human-readable source for the Gutenberg blocks?
The readable block source is included in each blocks/*/src directory. Build instructions are in docs/SOURCE_BUILD.md; WordPress servers do not need Node.js.
