The software downloaded and installed without issues. It seems to do what it is intended to do. On those criteria, thank you to GAOTD and 3DPageFlip Software Co. for making this available.
That said, I will agree that, for what the software does, the pricing seems exorbitant. It's basically a one-trick pony which, in my estimation, would be more accurately priced around $39.00 or so. In the current instance, of course, it is free, so that issue is moot.
However, I do see a serious limitation of the product, and it has more to do with the nature of the product itself than with the vendor's implementation or pricing. This application, and all such applications that produce Flash output, are fundamentally inaccessible on the Web to vision-impaired users. The text cannot be resized, and the content is not available to screen readers. So, those with poor vision, and those using small, high-resolution screens, are unable to access the content. Yes, Flash can be made accessible. It is not automatic, and requires special attention by the Flash developer to implement, but it can be done. I haven't specifically tested this product in that regard, but I would be surprised if the output was accessible.
Again, not a fault of the vendor. All programs of this type, AFAIK, share this problem. However, as a Web developer by trade, whose clients want their pages to be accessible (especially government agencies, who by law must make their sites accessible), this and other such products are basically useless. Nice product, but I can't imagine a scenario where I would personally want a page-flip feature except on the Web, which is exactly where this issue manifests.
For those who do in-person presentations, and who would like to implement a page-flip for all or part of a presentation, fine. This is the app for you. For Web developers, not so much...

(Win 7, 32-bit) Downloaded and installed without a problem.
Good points:
Do not need to open ppt file --> fast.
You can insert your own background image.
You can customize/ create your own language for buttons.
Sound, logo image can be inserted.
Not-so-good points:
Quality of image (I tested only the output as a .swf file) is not very good.
Too expensive for these limited functions (but I still remember it free today).
Some typing errors inside the English menus.
Bad points:
I tried to convert a ppt file (2010) into html. When I opened the output html file, it automatically opened in my default Chrome AND closed all my open browser tabs. So all the composing emails lost!!!
---------
Anyway, it is ok to keep this (since it is free) until next better GATD offers (hopefully some ppt-to-flash programs of last year offers would come back soon).

1. @Leslie We will consider your mentioned Price to $69.95. Or we can improve the functionalities of this software to make it deserves $99.00 later.
2. @Andrew exe output problem, we will check and try to fix as soon as possible.
3. @Mark HTML open problem, please make sure the HTML file stays with other output files and folders, don't extract it out separately.
4. @BrainGel movie embedded PDF, I'm sorry this is PPT to 3D PageFlip eBook Convert, can't convert PDF file.
5. @janegi To improve quality, we will consider to add an option later, about mobile version output, after output HTML, SWF, JS, "files" and "mobile" folders, please upload all these files and folders online, then visit the index page directly in the browser of iPhone, iPad or Android devices.
6. @Jam There is no page limitation, please try some other PPTs.
7. @Philip About your encountered HTML output problem, please send details to our support mail box: support@3dpageflip.com .
8. @m About "Class not registered", please install the latest version of Flash Player in your IE browser first.
9. @anne-ology "have the option to read", did you mean to read the book automatically while turning pages?
10. @akoware They are different page-flipping eBook creator, different Flash effect, different functionalities. The first link is for the 3D PageFlip for PowerPoint.
11. @Robert The alarm could be a false alarm, virus checking result here: http://www.virustotal.com/file-scan/report.html?id=036798b3de2e2a312ff281f9851e9b4fbdfb7ded2e0a2342215c53f51ace2b37-1313002022 .

For those trying to get flash.ocx in place I believe you have to right click on the file, select 'opens with' and then locate the regsvr32.exe in the windows/system32 folder. This should register the file with windows. Hope that helps.

Downloaded and installed on Win XP SP3, messed around a bit with it but didn't notice anything above and beyond a few other programs I've already tried. I just recently had a HDD die on me so I was eager to try this.
I was somewhat disappointed that there does not seem to be an option to recover files from a disk image, only a physical hard drive. I was 75% of the way through attempting to image a dying drive when it let out all its smoke and ceased to read anything. That incomplete .dd image is now my only hope at recovering anything.

#1, Kathy, you just missed Photo to FlipBook from the July 15th giveaway, http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/photo-to-flipbook/ --it was very good, unfortunately the giveaway was hurt by malicious comments as so often happens here. The maker of that and this are probably the same, just rebranded. By the way, your art is cool.
Some people are untrainable. Do not run programs as administrator when they don't need it. The virtualization which Vista+ perform is a good thing, it's only used on badly-coded programs, and there is no overhead involved. Running programs as administrator when they don't need to has undesirable consequences.
I get sick of the endless drivel from people who don't understand computers. Writing to the registry is no different from writing a Word document, it's just data. Whether it's harmful depends on whether it interferes with existing entries or causes some undesirable action to be performed. This endless nonsense about never installing anything on Windows is ridiculous, some of us actually like to use our computers.

PowerPoint animations get lost in translation
I installed on Vista 64 and had to reboot before it would work properly. I got the same problem with not being able to open the .exe program after conversion.
No PowerPoint set animations work,it just gives the slide as is. If PowerPoint animations worked it the flip program would be helpful.

I'm disappointed, I have a lot of ppt's, and I have libreoffice that can create ppt's, but I have to have powerpoint installed to convert them, huh? So I should buy an expensive program like powerpoint, when I can do it just as good in impress in libreoffice, no thanks.

I like flipbook makers, but I missing these features:
- book zoom. When I open book, then no fit to screen, book of left or right side is bigger. I not found zoom out for better read (see sample project).
- I cannot select soft or hard cover
- Where can I enable/disable visible buttons for bottom bar?
- I cannot move bottom bar to top or other place
- I not found preview for pages
- No content/text search
Please add these functions too!

I get a blank page when converting to .exe. the .html works fine. It would be nice to be able to turn off the clicking of the pages but I suppose that could be controlled by the user if they want the sound turned off. However, if you had background music that is integral to the presentation, that might be a problem. Adobe Bridge does a nice job of this but I realize most people don't have that. It would also be nice to have the option of a single page presentation if you don't want two slides to show at the same time. This could be manipulated in PP leaving a blank page for effect. But Hey, it was free, It's good for a quick splash if needed. Yes, a lot of things could be done to it. I sure am glad I didn't pay for it, though. Although, since I have all the Adobe products, I probably wouldn't have downloaded this if I'd had to pay for it.

@4: Try installing the latest Flash from Adobe's site. I'm not sure how they handle installation anymore, but they should install an OCX plugin version along with NS plugins if you have Firefox, et al.

#28: "After installing in windows 7 , it gives an error:- “Class not registered” whrn I try to run the program. What should I do?"
Today's app itself isn't that complicated, doesn't register its own classes or files, but relies on what you already have installed. If/when 3DPageFlip for PowerPoint won't run, my guess it's because something already installed isn't working properly, &/or just isn't compatible with today's GOTD. It does use Flash, so you might want to make sure you have the latest version [go to adobe.com/software/flash/about/] -- you should keep it current regardless. Otherwise in comment #7, Alice suggested contacting them at support@3dpageflip.com .

I feel compelled to write since several had posted about some limitation on pages and quality. I downloaded and installed this on my Windows7 64 system with absolulely no problems. I have tried it on several different PowerPoints of 24, 25, and 30 pages. Each converted and showed all the pages, not just 8 as several have complained about. I find the quality of the pictures very good following conversion. I have not exported them to a web site as I have none to export to but my experience has been very satisfying with the results.
Thanks GOTD!
I would like to ask my humble request to those that have no need or desire for these types of programs to refrain from commenting. Let the comments reflect experiences with the program itself. Several posted that there are a number of free alternatives but I notice that none have been suggested.

In tests 3DPageFlip for PowerPoint did what it's supposed to, taking individual PowerPoint slides in a *.ppt file & putting them on the pages of a flip book. PowerPoint has to be installed for this GOTD, but the developers also have free versions that work with PDF or Open Office docs. The flip books themselves use Flash, as does the preview in the program's window -- Flash is good at a lot of things, but efficiency isn't necessarily one of them, so mileage will vary both creating & viewing your flip books... CPU % = ~25 viewing in my regular win7 64 OS, but with the app open & idle CPU was ~50% in the resource restricted XP Mode VM, spiking as high as 77% during viewing. IOW think about the hardware your intended audience is likely to use, & if or as needed remember there's always the simpler mobile option. Along the same lines [thinking about your audience], flip books created with 3DPageFlip for PowerPoint do not scale well horizontally -- a portrait oriented browser window or display can cut off both sides of an open flip book.
What 3DPageFlip for PowerPoint does is take snapshots of your .ppt slides -- in tests I got 3 folders of images, 1 with .jpg images at 1024 x 768 ["large"], & 2 with .jpg images at 720 x 540 ["mobile" & "normalpic"]. There's a [human readable] .html file that's used to display everything, with a .js file, a config.xml, & a .swf file for the flip book end of things -- you can use the html page as-is, or incorporate it's html code into a page(s) of your own design. The mobile option works the same way but without Flash, meaning no page flip FX. Using several files isn't a big problem when you're going to put your flip books on-line, but it can be a slight bit of a hassle when you're e-mailing your flip book etc., e.g. including directions explaining where & how to unzip everything & what to double click to run. 3DPageFlip for PowerPoint includes the option of publishing a self-contained .exe file that could make that sort of thing much simpler, but in tests I couldn't get the .exe files to work.
Installing 3DPageFlip for PowerPoint isn't bad, but in win7 64 today's GOTD needs to run as admin if you want to avoid using win7's VirtualStore [this Windows team blog explains VirtualStore a bit http://goo.gl/IxUfG ]. Setup.exe adds the "3D PageFlip for PowerPoint" program folder with 78 files, 23 folders, ~14 MB -- running the app creates the "A-PDF" folder under All Users Application Data [ProgramData in win7]. Installed/registered you'll get 2 new program keys in the registry, + 1 for uninstall, + 3 that are shell related. Using SysInternals Process Explorer, 3DPageFlip for PowerPoint uses Internet Explorer, Flash, & opens a few video related files, including Video For Windows [VFW] support -- I mention VFW because some VFW codecs for example can be trouble-prone, have compatibility problems etc., so if you have problems running 3DPageFlip for PowerPoint that might be one place to look.
Those without PowerPoint might want to check out the Free PDF to Flash &/or the Free 3DPageFlip Lite at 3dpageflip.com -- together with the free [open source] PDF Creator or a similar PDF printer, plus maybe a screen shot app [e.g. the free, open source Greenshot] you should be able to do the same thing for pretty much anything you can display. The free SWF Tools might be another approach.

Wow...
OK, so download fine like a normal giveaway. I run the installer and immediately get 2 virus warnings. Not normal. I ignore them and install anyway. Then things get interesting. I run the program and nothing happens. I can see the icon in the Windows 7 taskbar, but no program. Then I get another virus warning. I run the program again and it pops up with a registration window. I enter the key and it registers quickly. I hit close and then my PC locks up. Can't open task manager, can't open windows explorer.
Then I lose all control of my pc and have to do a hard-reset (for those who don't know, that means I had to hold down the power button to get it to turn off).
I get my pc rebooted and everything loaded up like normal, and try opening the program again. Immediately I get another virus warning but the program opens. I closed it and opened again and did not get another warning.
Honestly this program is not what I was expecting - I was expecting an addon to either Office 2007 or Office 2010, not a separate program. I am still very worried about these virus warnings I keep getting, because this is not normal. I cannot promise that I will be keeping this program...
Also, when I say virus warning, I am not talking about Mamutu - it responds to everything. I am talking about my actual antivirus is reporting this thing. I have been using it for about a year (will be a year in 5 days) and not had this problem before.

For it's functionality, rather lack there of, and considering the price asked....far to expensive. I can't see too many that would justify paying such a price for a converter that can be gotten for free elsewhere...and possibly also have other added options this does not. Add the ability to use other Office programs besides Microsoft. Especially the open source common free ones that most use. Many companies are moving outside of Microsoft and MS Office and using other alternatives....it's about time the programmers and software companies see that and pay attention...making their programs computable with others. I would agree that the size of the program is of no importance to the price IF the program is good and offers good functionality, is open to a wide range of diverse users, and has at least some options and functions that aren't free in other programs.

Installed no problem on Win 7. Has limited flip pages available (about 8 pages.) Small amount of pages more useful for play, not presentations. Simple to use. Great for beginner.

I also got the "PowerPoint not installed" error message initially after registering, but all I had to do was close and re-open the application and this was no longer a problem.
Super simple and fast to upload a ppt, set the tilt and background, then publish.
Tried the html, exe and android options.
The html was disappointingly blurry with no obvious option to improve the settings. Exe was better but even then not as visually crisp as the original ppt. And still no option to improve the output that I can see.
The output to mobile options needs more specific help for people (newbies to androids) like me, for example where do the files get saved for each of the html, zip and exe options, and a step by step guide for getting them online.
Otherwise very cool. I like it.

After a reboot of the PC the program could load and generate html-files, but the EXE-option just returned a white window when started (this seems to be the problem too @comment #10 "Mark").

Because I cannot install at the moment, I cannot verify that my suggestions below will work but it's worth trying. Good Luck.
You could first save/print your images to a PDF file
(there are many freeware PDF converters available
ie. PrimoPDF http://www.primopdf.com/index.aspx).
Then you could convert the PDF's to PPT using this freeware program.
http://www.boxoft.com/pdf-to-ppt/
Then use the current GAOTD to convert to a flipping book.
Hope this helps.

Simple concept, converts ppt & pptx files BUT publish facility does not seem to work. HTML option results in an html file with the name of the project and a folder (named files)containing the other data. Opening the html file results in a blank page as does the .exe publish option.
Save | Cancel
Just tried this, and immediately impressed by its neat, powerpoint like interface. No problem publishing a flip book, but then, when I tried publishing an .exe, and opening it, just a blank page. And also, I wonder why clicking on a created file does not launch the file, but just open the program, and have to open the file through the open program. And when I open another created program, on closing it always pop up some options which I really do not quite understand, because when I try "yes", and then in another instance "no", I did not see any difference or any changes that it effected. Very neat program if these "bugs" are corrected, especially for those who publish at facebook, there being an option (although I have tried it)at the right lower corner to send it to facebook. (also twitter, etc). But then I think the price is a bit steep. Maybe, one-half to at most 2/3rd the price will make it more attractive for potential buyers.
Save | Cancel
@Marcus: Are you serious about judging an application price ratio based upon its size, that's ridiculous. As a developer myself I am tired of seeing crappy programmers producing 50Mb+ software that does NOTHING.
The size of 10Mb is about right but having scolded you I do agree that based upon its FUNCTIONALITY I think a price around $USD69.95 is more realistic given that its main target demographic is the Business arena.
I downloaded and installed it with no problems, I am impressed with what it does, delivering pretty much what I expected.
Thanks GAOTD for this offering, but yes some people will not bother due to relevance rather then the application itself.
Save | Cancel
To Kathy (commet #1) : no need to be freakin' lost. A product called 3DPageFlip for PowerPoint is for use with Powerpoint, i.e. you need PowerPoint. Nothing more to consider there. Also, why complain about the price when this is being given away? Finally, you really should try things before you complain about them. Not doing so, and saying "so sue me" doesn't really cover it. You give the impression that you are impossible to please.
