When sending out a digital publication most likely you will send the live link to your Flash or HTML published content, however what if you want the edition to open on a specific page via a link?
Here is how to accomplish this on each technology...
Flash
With the publication open, click the Sharing toolbar icon and select Send to a friend...
Next you have the option to send the link to the entire publication or to an individual page, and it is the link to the page you can copy - for example http://content.yudu.com/A2xkq1/IssueTwo/resources/2.htm will take the user to page 2 of this digital publication
The format of this is *Live URL*/resources.*Page Number*.htm, so changing the live URL and page number you require will give you the direct link.
HTML
Much like the Flash version above, the HTML version has the following direct page format:
http://content.yudu.com/htmlReader/A2xkq1/IssueTwo/reader.html?page=2
To confirm, the format is *Live URL*/reader.html?page=*Page Number* so simply replace the live link with your own and the page number you require.
I can get the Flash version to work ok (because the link is available in the reader) but I can't get the HTML version to work because the Live URL doesn't look the same.
This is the published document:
http://content.yudu.com/web/13nlu/0A2trzx/MEN-Dir003/index.html
This works for Flash direct link:
http://content.yudu.com/web/13nlu/0A2trzx/MEN-Dir003/flash/resources/2.htm
None of these work for the HTML direct link:
http://content.yudu.com/htmlReader/web/13nlu/0A2trzx/MEN-Dir003/reader.html?page=2
http://content.yudu.com/htmlReader/13nlu/0A2trzx/MEN-Dir003/reader.html?page=2
http://content.yudu.com/web/htmlReader/13nlu/0A2trzx/MEN-Dir003/reader.html?page=2
How do I get the HTML direct link for this publication please?
The answer from Yudu is this format: (which is doubly cool as it can be used on both flash and non-flash devices with the former auto-redirecting to the flash version):
