Why add photo tours
Print PDFs force you to pick a few hero shots. A photo tour lets readers open more angles, behind-the-scenes frames, and detail crops without stuffing every image into the layout.
Keep the PDF light. Keep the story rich. Readers stay in the interactive PDF flipbook while they swipe.
Two ways to place photos
Photo Icon
Drop a branded camera marker on the page. Readers tap it and open a fullscreen lightbox with swipe and arrows.
Photo Tour Embed
Draw a region and place up to five images in an on-page carousel. Readers can enlarge any frame in one click.
Both options live under Photo Tour in page media. Use an icon when space is tight. Use an embed when the gallery is part of the design.
