Hello,

I wish to make a PDF-file with page turn effect, but it says I need to use SWF.

Is it possible to save a PDF with page turn effects without saving it as SWF?

No. That is exactly why it says "(SWF Only)".

if you are willing to get away from .pdf you can go with in5 for getting a layout from indesign to a turn page effect that will work across all devices since its all HTML.

I have been using it for over a year now and it works great.

There are a number of third-party apps that offer the page flip facility from a PDF, such as:

Free PDF Page Flip Software - Empower PDF with Page Flipping Effect | Flipbuilder.com

But the effect gets irritating for the reader after a bit (especially if you don't turn off the page turn sound effect!).

Thanks for confirming.

This page in the Swedish Adobe Support gave me some hope that it might work:

Använda och rensa sidövergångar i InDesign

But they probably refer to general page transitions and not specifically the page turn effect.

That page turn effect serves no purpose at all. How do you plan on viewing this PDF?

If it's via the web, there are WordPress plugins that will do this. Otherwise, skip it.
