FAQ

Where do I get my File ID?

Log in at toombler.com/app, open the settings panel for your flipbook (⚙ icon), click “Configure & Embed”, and copy the value after id= in the embed URL.

Do I need a Toombler account?

Yes. You need a free Toombler account to upload a Google Drive PDF and get a File ID. Create one at toombler.com.

No. Toombler hosts the flipbook viewer. This plugin simply embeds it via an iframe. Your PDF is served through Toombler’s infrastructure.

Does this plugin collect any data?

The plugin itself sets no cookies and collects no data. The embedded Toombler viewer may record anonymous page-view counts. See the Toombler Privacy Policy for details.

Does it work with page builders?
