Creation of flipbook

I wanted to create a flipbook from a PDF file. Although InDesign has the option to convert it into flipbook but it does it in Flash format. Is there any way to create a flipbook and publish it in HTML file?

I don't have an answer but I wanted to make sure you are aware that, much as some people love flipbooks, many other people hate them very much. Be sure you or your client has evaluated what your customer based wants, needs, and will accept. Consider what you are offering over a simple PDF, especially to people who will use your site or service a lot.

Thanks TSN. This good advice can't be emphasized or repeated enough. Not only is the flipbook thing an irritant and an affront to usability, but IMO, anyone still seeing the novelty as desirable has arrived at this failed party very, very late.

Derek beat me to it - FlipPDFPro is great for this.

A bit of a quirky UI, but once you get the hang of it, it's very reliable and produces Flash & HTML5 based flip books.

What is the purpose? Obviously putting it on the web but how?
