Digital brochure formats

We’ll help you choose the digital brochure format that’s
right for you.

There are lots of digital brochure formats available.
We’ll work closely with you to choose a format that enhances the delivery and design of your digital brochure.

PDF brochures

PDFs are the most common digital brochure format and have many advantages. Easy to send and share, they also utilise the built in features of PDF readers, such as print and editing (depending on the software you use). We’ll create or convert your brochure to this format so that you can:

• Send to clients as an email attachment
• Upload to your website to provide a downloadable brochure
• Easily convert your existing brochure

Interactive PDF brochures

Sharing the same features and benefits of PDF brochures, interactive PDFs also have additional functions for an extra level of interactivity. This lets you deliver and reveal information in a more engaging way with buttons and effects. You can also add internal navigation and media, such as short movie files.

You can also create digital forms which people can fill in and send back without having to scan or print. With interactive PDFs you can:

• Send your brochure as an email attachment
• Upload it to your website to provide a downloadable brochure
• Easily convert your existing brochure
• Add interactive elements to highlight facts or present information in a certain order
• Create editable forms

Digital online brochures

If you want a richer and more interactive experience then this is the digital brochure format for you. These digital brochures can be easily viewed on all website browsers and don’t require any additional software.

But more importantly, an online brochure provides the ability to animate certain elements, giving you the option to highlight and emphasise key facts, figures or graphs. The main benefits of online brochures are:

• You can animate key elements or facts
• Reveal information with buttons and links
• Create internal navigation
• Add hyperlinks to external sites
• Create an interactive PDF brochure from the same document
• Share your brochure online with social media
• Embed your brochure in your website

EPUB digital brochures

To create a brochure or book as an ebook you’ll need it in an EPUB format. You can send and view EPUBs using ebook readers such as the Book app on your Apple device. You can also upload this format to various online stores for people to buy and download.

EPUBs come in two different formats, a fixed layout (with static pages like a PDF) and a fluid layout (where the graphics on the page resize and move depending on the orientation of the device). EPUBs can contain rich content such as animation and movie clips and harness inbuilt ebook reader features. The main benefits of this format are:

• The ability to create fixed or fluid layouts
• The option to use rich media such as movie clips
• Easily shared with others
• Readable on ebook reader apps

These come in three different formats, reflowable, comic and print replica. We’ll help you decide which is the best one for you. The main benefits of this format are:

• Upload and sell through Amazon
• Download and read on Kindle devices
• Use the built in Kindle reader features

Animated page brochure

There are many animated page and flippy page brochure formats and online services. We’ll create and optimise your digital brochure for these sites and advise which service is best suited to your budget and needs.

These services, like digital online brochures, are accessed through a web browser and have many built in functions. Most basic accounts are free but if you want to use the extended functions you might need to upgrade to a monthly subscription package. The main benefits of these are:

• Easy to upload and share your brochure
• Use inbuilt features
• Some offer the ability to sell or set up subscriptions for your brochure
• And of course, flippy page animation
