Comments on: No discount for no magazine? http://skydiveuspa.wordpress.com/2008/10/15/no-discount-for-no-magazine/ An insider peek into USPA headquarters Sun, 08 Nov 2009 05:16:25 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Lara Kjeldsen http://skydiveuspa.wordpress.com/2008/10/15/no-discount-for-no-magazine/#comment-105 Lara Kjeldsen Thu, 09 Apr 2009 15:40:58 +0000 http://skydiveuspa.wordpress.com/?p=42#comment-105 Many of our pages are spreads, which wouldn't work viewing as a single-page PDF. It's also frustrating and time-consuming for the user to download single pages to view. We have looked into software and companies that combine the PDFs to allow the user to flip through the pages like an actual magazine. Of course, there's a cost associated with it. The good news is costs are coming down since more programs are being offered. We're keeping a close eye on it and hope to offer a comprehensive e-magazine one day soon.

Why not just have the same pdf available for download as you send to print? Layouts will be the same, as will photo quality, it wont' cost extra, and is easily made available online. You export for a web pdf by clicking a few buttons and you can put everyone at bay for a while until you find an adequate solution that is less lame. Seems like an easy solution that won't cost much time or $. Posting a link on the uspa website will take moments not hours as will the export of a pdf. Just a thought.
